    Find & Replace colours

    Is it possible to do a find and replace based on fill colours?

    Unless the colors are a result of Conditional Formatting, and those rules can be used in the F/R, then short answer - not with regular formulas.

    Can you show some sample data?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Re: Find & Replace colours

    This is a sample payment sheet, the yellow boxes are the ones previously paid, the blue are the ones that are paid this month, so every new month I have to start by changing all the blue cells from the previous month to yellow.

    I just wondered if there was an easier way to do it.

    Here, Chose Format From Cell is not mandatory. You can select the formatting too. However this is advisable as there might be some formatting which might not be visible always. Hence I prefer that.
