Is there a way to clear all shaded cells in a worksheet using a macro?

I have received a lot of help from this news group.
Thank you very much.

Sub tryme()
For Each mycell In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
mycell.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
Next mycell
End Sub

Or just get the entire range at once:

ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone

or even do all the cells:
activesheet.cells.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone

Thank you for the quick response.
I was looking to only clear the data not the shade as the shaded areas show
the user where the data goes.

Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Dim myCell As Range
Dim myRng As Range

Set myRng = Selection 'ActiveSheet.usedrange

For Each myCell In myRng.Cells
If myCell.Interior.ColorIndex = 3 Then
myCell.ClearContents
End If
Next myCell

End Sub

Record a macro when you change the colorindex of a cell. Then use that in place
of the 3.

Select the range you want before you run the code. Or use the UsedRange if you
want.

This is what I get when I record the macro:
I tried to use xlAutomatic Did not work
I tried to use 3 did not work
Then I tried to use 0.599993896298105 and that did not work either.
I even tried to use the 0 and that did not work either.



Range("B17").Select
With Selection.Interior
.Pattern = xlSolid
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.ThemeColor = xlThemeColorAccent3
.TintAndShade = 0.599993896298105
.PatternTintAndShade = 0
End With
