Default Delete text if red

thats an interesting point. RED numbers are usually negative, while positive
numbers are black. This isn't to do with the actual cell's text color
property, it is to do with the FORMATTING of the cell. Quite different.
Anita: Do you mean that all NEGATIVE numbers should be deleted?

Anita,

Your post is ambiguous in that in the last sentence you refer to deleting
red TEXT after have referred to deleting red NUMBERS.

I think what you want is to delete all numbers with red font. If thta
correct right click your sheet tab, view code and paste the code below in and
run it

Sub Red()
For Each c In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
If IsNumeric(c) And c.Font.Color = 255 Then
c.ClearContents
End If
Next
End Sub

We have a spreadsheet which has cells with numbers in red text and cells with
numbers in black text. We would like to be able to delete all the red text,
if that's possible? I don't know any programming myself but any help
appreciated. Version 2007.

Thanks
