I am trying to create a refresh macro that turn a number of cells back to
green.

I no i can do it at a an individual cell (i have pasted the code i have
used) level is there an easier less time consuming way as i have quite a few
cells i need to do this for.

Range("B2").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Green"

Range("B2,c3:c99,d1,e1,f3:f8").value = "Green"

Gets a lot of cells at once.

Jelinek,

Try

Sub ColourSelection()
Dim TargetCell As Object
For Each TargetCell In Selection
Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 38
Next
End Sub

You can select multiple cells/ranges on a worksheet by holding down the
Control key whilst you click and select them.

Then run the macro - all the selected cells will (in this case) turn light
pink.
Try changing the number to change the colour or use
Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 38
to remove colour completely.

Here's a list of colours and their corresponding values.
Those with a D after them indicate duplicates - i.e. colours that can be
generated by more than one number.
