    Select cells by Background colour

    Hi,

    I would like the contents of all cells in a Colum that have a red background copied and pasted in a single cell as below :-

    1,34,54,78,99,345,78

    All the numbers above would have had a red background colour, all the other cells are ignored,

    Hope someone can help,

    Cheers

    WCE

    Unless the cells have been set using Condtional Formulas (in which case just use the same conditions to determine if they are red ro not) formulas cannot read cell colours, only VBA.

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Hi,

    the cells are using Conditional formatting to change the colour background is this what you mean ?

    Cheers
