    Swich on/off fil color

    I saw this website
    http://blog.contextures.com/archives...al-formatting/
    and I would like to know if it is possible to change on/off all colored cells?

    Thank for answer.

    if colored with conditional formatting - yes, as described in the above link.
    if somebody did coloring manually - switching off is easy - select all sheet and format fill as "no fill" or as white.
    But there is no easy way to restore "manulally aplied" color once it is switched off.
    The exception is that for some time if no other changes appeared in the sheet you can use Undo feature (Ctrl+Z).
    Typical situation - switching off color (all cells filled white), printing, switching back (by undo).
    Best Regards,

    Kaper

    Hi, kopi,

    maybe use styles like described in Invisible Ink.

    So if that is not possible, is there any other method to mark the cells, which can be than switch on/off.(this is meant using excel for data processing not print)

    Hi, kopi,

    the basic idea can be used in the code or a commandbutton or togglebutton as well (check the font colour and get the new one based on the used one).

    Yes, but as far as I can do, I cannot change location of cells and then maualy turn on/off filing with color or other property.

    Hi, kopi,

    I doubt you got the proper idea about how to use this concept for styles.

    Ciao,
