Excel should allow search/replace and filter by color
 

I have seen people change the color of the text or the cell to indicate
something, in an excel sheet. So the color IS data too, in a sense.

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to search and replace all the text that are
of a certain color?

It would be especially nice if we could filter out rows that have text in a
certain color.

xl2002+ has that ability to search by color (font or fill).

And the next version of excel will be able to filter on color.

If you can't wait, you may want to try Ron de Bruin's Easyfilter.
