Cell background color change

[mmcginn]

Hi,

I had what i assumed to be an easy problem. However I am unable to find a soultion and would be greatful for your help.

I have a worksheet with cells coloured in two colors. One of those colors "RGB(216,216,216)" needs to be cleared when the sheet is consolidated to a new workbook leaving the other intact. This rules out a global clear of all colors.

Thanks in advance. Matt

You mean you have one cell one colour and another cell another colour?, why can't you check the range for the colorindex and then change it to xlNone?

The colors are mixed accross the spreadsheet Some Grey, some blue.

Initially I used this but it just didn't work. Maybe I am missing something obvious!

Sub Clear_Grey()
 
     If Range("A1:M68").Interior.color = RGB(191, 191, 191) Then
        Range("A1:M68").Interior.color = RGB(11, 11, 11)
 
End If
End Sub

this will remove light grey from your range, use 5 instead of 15 for dark blue

Sub remove_colour()
Dim MyCell As Range, Rng As Range
Set Rng = Range("A1:M68")
For Each MyCell In Rng
If MyCell.Interior.ColorIndex = 15 Then
MyCell.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
End If
Next MyCell
End Sub

Simon,

This is great and does exactly what I need. owever, I need to run it on 120 sheets and it's very slow.

Is there any way to do the same thing but without looping through each cell?
