Nothing built in, you need to write your own function or macro (or let

you can install the function that returns colorindex for instance, use it in
a help to return the colorindex and then apply autofilter and filter on the
help column and finally copy the visible cells and paste somewhere else

I want to extract certain rows of data (there is a few thousand of them)
from
the spreadsheet I'm working on. These particular rows have a coloured
fill.
The end result being a new spreadsheet containing only the data from these
specific rows. Other than the coloured fill there is nothing to
destinguish
these rows from any of the 8000 or so in the original spreadsheet.
I'm using Office 2003
