I have a worksheet with information separated by cell color. I want to pull the data from cells of a certain color, without manually going down the list and "copy-pasting". I know I can sort by cell color, but I want something that will automatically populate with data of a certain color. I don't want to change the order of the raw data by keeping all the same colors together.
What I'm not trying to do: Change the cell color of data that meets my criteria. I know this is easily done with Conditional formatting.
What I am trying to do: Get a list of data that is already a certain cell color.
I've uploaded a simplified file to help explain. In it, there are 3 sets of data (Site 1, Site 2, Site 3). I want to create a list of the data in green cells, which happens to be all of Site 1 and Site 3.
I don't know if this can be accomplished with any built in functions, or if it will require some type of script or macro?
Thanks!
See attached.
Basic code - no error handling and set to use ONLY the shade of green you have used - will fail on any other shade of green.
It would best if you estalish a specific criteria for determining when a cell gets a green color and then use this same criteria in VBA.
There macro is assigned to a button on the sheet and the results are copied to sheet2.Option Explicit Sub Get_Cells_By_Color() Dim lastrow As Long, lastcol As Long Dim c As Range lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row lastcol = Cells(4, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column Application.ScreenUpdating = False '// Sheet references are sheet code name - change them as required '// cell ranges may need to be adjusted With Sheet1 For Each c In .Range("A4", .Cells(lastrow, lastcol)) If c.Interior.Color = 5296274 Then .Cells(c.Row, "E").Value = "green" End If Next c .AutoFilterMode = False .Range("E3:E" & lastrow).AutoFilter field:=1, Criteria1:="green" .Range("A3:C" & lastrow).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy Sheet2.Range("A1") .AutoFilterMode = False .Range("E4:E" & lastrow).ClearContents End With Application.CutCopyMode = False Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub
