Hi,

Is it possible to sort the excel records based on background or font color?. Please Help!
 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Not much to go on but....

.......if your data is in a column, has no gaps between it and a spare column to the right then the code below should work for you

Sub Decode_sort_bycolour()

ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="Starter", RefersTo:=ActiveCell(1, 2)

Do

ActiveCell(1, 2).Value = ActiveCell.Interior.Color
ActiveCell(2, 1).Select

Loop Until ActiveCell.Value = ""

Range(ActiveCell(0, 1), "Starter").Select

Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("Starter"), Order1:=xlAscending, HEADER:=xlNo, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal

Selection.End(xlDown).Select
Selection.End(xlToRight).Select

Range(ActiveCell, "Starter").Clear


End Sub


You could change the "interior" bit above to "font" if you wanted to sort on that instead.

Also this will only sort the data in order of the number assigned to the colour of the cell / font.
