I have an excel spreadsheet that has many columns filled black. It
looks great, but I need to replace the formatting with an actual
value, These squares are black with no value in them. Is there some
way to add a value to all squares that are black? Thanks,

use white text.
black text in black cells will be invisible.

Try this procedure.

Sub FilledBlack()
Dim R As Range, ER As Range
Set ER = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:F10000 ")
For Each R In ER.Cells
If R.Interior.ColorIndex = 1 Then
R.Value = "Your Value"
End If
Next R
End Sub

Substitute whatever the range you want to check for "A1:F10000"
ColorIndex = 1 checks to see if the cell is filled black.
This will enter the value "Your Value" in all cells that are filled black.

Hope this gets you started.

Thanks so much! You just saved me a whole day's worth of manual
editing! I knew there had to be a way to reference the formatting.--
