Macro to filter and color.

[dcmb]

Hi,

I want write a macro to filter the below for Cat A and color them red, B - blue, C - green.

I have no problem writing the macro for the filtering but how do I have the macro select the data after filtering and color them?

I recorded the macro but when the selection always include the header.

Maybe conditional formatting in the format menu is of use?
