Delete zeros in light yellow cells
I am working with a state mandated Excel template and need to write a macro
that will delete the contents of cells that first are light yellow (.ColorIndex = 36) and second are not textual. I can write the necessary macro in Lotus 123 but Excel is a whole different world. The Excel template has merged cells, formulation in different colored cells (which must remain unchanged) and 3,000 rows with columns to AJ in the largest worksheet. Other worksheets in the file have fewer lines and fewer columns. Each row has different merged cells. I need a repeating macro to evaluate each cell individually and to delete only those light yellow cells (or light yellow merged cells) that are not text and which evaluate to zero. All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Claude |
Delete zeros in light yellow cells
One way:
Public Sub ClearLightYellowNumbers() Dim cell As Range For Each cell In ActiveSheet.UsedRange With cell If IsNumeric(.Value) Then _ If .Value = 0 Then _ If .Interior.ColorIndex = 36 Then _ .MergeArea.ClearContents End With Next cell End Sub In article , "Claude" wrote: I am working with a state mandated Excel template and need to write a macro that will delete the contents of cells that first are light yellow (.ColorIndex = 36) and second are not textual.
