    Re: vba to alternate coloured reference after each comma in a big spreadsheet

    Hi Jean,

    Instead of coloring, how about making a big table out of all those text? See sheet2 where I've done this for you. Took about a minute. Will this help in solving your problem?

    Hi Marvin

    Thanks for response but indeed, the data is more complex as there are other columns so I cannot apply as in sheet 2.

    @ Fluff13,

    But it is slow...
    Typical Fluff stuff!

    Considering the massive changes the Code has to handle, I would object to your comment that "it is slow".

    Fantastic job!
