First, there are lots of shades of grey.

One way to find out the one you're working with is to select one of those cells.

Then hit alt-f8 (to get to the vbe)
hit ctrl-g (to see the immediate window)
then type this and hit enter:
msgbox activecell.interior.Colorindex

Note the number you get back.

Then change this macro to use that number:

Option Explicit
Sub testme01()

Dim myCell As Range
Dim myRng As Range

Set myRng = Selection
For Each myCell In myRng.Cells
If myCell.Interior.ColorIndex = 6 Then
myCell.ClearContents
End If
Next myCell

End Sub

I used 6 for my test--it was a dark yellow.

Then select your range to fix and run this macro.

Hi, I'm brand new to the forum, and very inexperienced with vba, but...
I have a large spreadsheet, and every cell is linked to another file.
Many of these cells are grayed out, but the problem is that because of
the linking, I have many cells with an annoying '0' in them.

I only have to clear these cells once ever, but there are SO many of
them I thought maybe a macro would make quick work of it.

I need to clear the values of all the cells on my spreadsheet thats are
shaded a specific color. How do I do this?
