Hi Patrick,

Thanks for your reply. Your code works in the way that the TestRange is set
to ColorIndex =0. If the orginal range
is "longer" than the TestRange, the "old" range is still greyed in the cells
that not was covered by the TestRange

I think I cant figure it out due to the fact that I don´t know how to deal
with the result of the rng.address from Tom´s
code. It comes like "$B$2:$D$2 , $F$2:$G$2 , $K$2:$M$2". How to "strip"
these addresses to an array or separate
variables?

Hi Group,

Received below code from Tom Ogilvy. It gives me the
addresses of the ranges
in Row(2) that is filled by grey color. What I´am trying
to do is to compare
another
range to the ranges from the code below. If the new
range is within some of
the
found ranges the "old" range should be set to "no color".
Are not clever enough to make an array of the given
ranges or to "split"
them to
independent variables for further processing. Thankful
for some help to move
along.
