Unable to add color to work sheet.
 

I have tried every sequence that I know. The painter will not paint columns,
rows, cells. Any suggestions?

Don't use Painter.
Highlight the cells you want to colour and then use Format / cells / patterns

because Format Painter, is more akin to a paintbrush that you dip into
other cells and then paint new ones.

ie copy/paste

I am still having the problem. I thought that I had a formatting issue, yet
on a new sheet, the problem still occurs. I even cleared the sheet first for
hidden formatting, it did not work. It is so strange why it will not allow
me.

Is this after Michael's advice ?
If it is, reply would have been better placed there.
As its a reply to your own - maybe you haven't read his reply.

Sorry, this was a general reply to all responces. I just noticed my "no
fill" in the "automatic" is blank. I tried to add color, but it would not
allow me.

This may be a dumb question, but are you actually in Excel and not Word??

Is this an Excel sheet in a word document ??
The "No Fill " and "Automatic" you mentioned are usually found in Word
formatting not Excel.
