chadski778,
1. What version of Excel, and, Windows are you using?
2. Are you using a PC or a Mac?
Here is a macro solution for you to consider.
I assume that the raw data worksheet is
Sheet1.
You can change the worksheet name in the macro.
Please TEST this FIRST in a COPY of your workbook (always make a backup copy before trying new code, you never know what you might lose).
1. Copy the below code
2. Open your NEW workbook
3. Press the keys
ALT +
F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor
4. Press the keys
ALT +
I to activate the Insert menu
5. Press
M to insert a Standard Module
6. Where the cursor is flashing, paste the code
7. Press the keys
ALT +
Q to exit the Editor, and return to Excel
8. To run the macro from Excel press
ALT +
F8 to display the Run Macro Dialog. Double Click the macro's name to Run it.
Code:
Sub DeleteColumnB_NOT_InteriorColorIndex_3()
' hiker95, 05/03/2015, ME852780
Dim r As Long, lr As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Sheets("Sheet1") '<-- you can change the sheet name here
lr = .Cells.Find("*", , xlValues, xlWhole, xlByRows, xlPrevious, False).Row
For r = lr To 1 Step -1
If .Cells(r, 2).Interior.ColorIndex <> 3 Then .Rows(r).Delete
Next r
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Before you use the macro with
Excel 2007 or newer, save your workbook, Save As, a macro enabled workbook with the file extension
.xlsm, and, answer the "do you want to enable macros" question as "yes" or "OK" (depending on the button label for your version of Excel) the next time you open your workbook.
Then run the
DeleteColumnB_NOT_InteriorColorIndex_3 macro.
