Excel Facts

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
So can we assume that all cells that have a foreground that is not black need to move?

VBA Code:
Sub MoveByColor()
Dim c As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each c In Range("A1:A" & Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row)
    If c.Font.Color <> vbBlack Then
        With c
            .Offset(0, 2).Value = .Value
            .Offset(0, 2).Font.Color = .Font.Color
            .Value = ""
        End With
    End If
Next c
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Thank you so much. Is there other trick without using VBA code because I am not advanced in Excel and I am not very familiar with VBA coding (I cannot remember the code) so I need, please, a simple trick like filtering or something basic like that is simple to use. Thank you again

Depends what you are doing. You can try this trick.
Apply filter over column "A". Press Filter dropdown button and in the filter menu go to the "Filter By Color".
On the right menu select font color that you want to remove (red in this case). After filtering select all cells in the column "A".
After that put mouse on the right bottom and when a black cross apears, with mouse down drag selection to the column "C".
Now select red fonts in the column "A" and "B", or just "B". Delete selection and close filter.

Solution
I suggest that you update your Account details (or click your user name at the top right of the forum) so helpers always know what Excel version(s) & platform(s) you are using as the best solution often varies by version. (Don’t forget to scroll down & ‘Save’)

I am not very familiar with VBA coding (I cannot remember the code)
You don't need to remember the code.
1. With your workbook active press Alt+F11 to bring up the vba window.
2. In the Visual Basic window use the menu to Insert|Module
3. Copy and Paste the code into the main right hand pane that opens at step 2.
4. Close the Visual Basic window.
5. Press Alt+F8 to bring up the Macro dialog
6. Select the macro & click ‘Run’
7. Your workbook will need to be saved as a macro-enabled workbook (*.xlsm). The code will be saved with the workbook.

If you want to try the macro approach then here is a slight variation to try

VBA Code:
Sub MoveByColor_v2()
  Dim c As Range
 
  Application.ScreenUpdating = False
  For Each c In Range("A1:A" & Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row)
      If c.Font.Color <> vbBlack Then c.Insert Shift:=xlToRight
  Next c
  Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
