Is it possible to filter a column by background color? Eg. there are certain rows in column A are background colored in yellow, is it possible to view only the yellow cell in column A?

Filter by background colour

Hi

If you have conditional formatting for the background colour, then you can filter on the same conditions

Hope this helps

Hi,

Code:
Sub FilterByColor()
Dim r As Range, txt As String
Dim fColor  As Byte

fColor = Range("B1").Interior.ColorIndex
Columns(1).Rows.Hidden = False

Again:
    For Each r In Range("a2", Range("a" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
        If r.Interior.ColorIndex <> fColor Then txt = txt & r.Address(0, 0) & ","
        If Len(txt) > 245 Then
            Range(Left(txt, Len(txt) - 1)).EntireRow.Hidden = True
            txt = Empty: GoTo Again
        End If
    Next
If Len(txt) Then Range(Left(txt, Len(txt) - 1)).EntireRow.Hidden = True
End Sub

Fill the filter color in b1 and run the macro.

Thanks to jindon.
