Default Macro to select cells within a range in which the cell color is none

It is best to check the condition that governs the conditional formatting.
Interior.ColorIndex is not altered by conditional formatting. Checking it
is extremely complex and inefficient - thus the advice to check the
condition itself.

However, the problem with error produced by the original code is checking
for zero instead of checking for xlNone would be my guess.

My revised code should select all your cells.

If you really want to check for the color produced by conditional
formatting, look at Chip Pearson's page on this:

I forgot to include this.

The cells that are being colored, are done so through conditional
formatting. I think that may be part of my problem. Is there a way to
apply your code to cells that have Conditional Formatting applied to them?

Thanks again,
Paul

Thanks for the response

I tried this and I get a "Run-time error '5': Invalid procedure call or
argument" at:
strSubSet = Left(strSubSet, Len(strSubSet) - 1)

I pasted the code exactly with no other code involved. Am I missing
something?

Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,

Try this:

Sub SelectWithBlancInterior()
Dim rngLoop As Range
Dim strSubSet As String
'
For Each rngLoop In Range("A2", "A27")
If rngLoop.Interior.ColorIndex = 0 Then
strSubSet = strSubSet & rngLoop.Address & ","
End If
Next
strSubSet = Left(strSubSet, Len(strSubSet) - 1)

Range(strSubSet).Select

End Sub


Hoop that helps,

Wouter
