I found a macro which counts conditionally formatted coloured cells.
'Variable declaration
Dim lColorCounter2 As Long
Dim rngCell2 As Range
'loop throughout each cell in the range
For Each rngCell2 In Selection
'Checking Amber color
If Cells(rngCell2.Row, rngCell2.Column).DisplayFormat.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 192, 0) Then
lColorCounter2 = lColorCounter2 + 1
End If
Next
MsgBox "Green =" & lColorCounter2
I am trying to change it into a function. I've read on here that it may be because .DisplayFormat.Interior.Color doesn't work for functions. Is there a workaround?
Ideally I would like the function to have two arguments, the range of cells to search in for the colours and the second a cell with the colour to look for.
Have in mind that:
RGB(255, 192, 0) is not green but close to orange.
Change the range you want to loop - rng (now rng equals to Sheet1.Range("A1:A20"))
Try:
Option Explicit
Public Function Color(ByVal rng As Range)
Dim Counter As Long
Dim Cell As Range
For Each Cell In rng
'Checking Amber color
If Cells(Cell.Row, Cell.Column).DisplayFormat.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 192, 0) Then
Counter = Counter + 1
End If
Next
MsgBox "Orange=" & Counter
End Function
Sub test()
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Sheet1.Range("A1:A20")
Call Color(rng)
End Sub

So every cell that has a value of 0, that row will be hidden. And any value that is outside the minimum and maximum values will be red.
How to identify red color but active (not hidden) with macro? because I used "range. displayformat. interior. color = vbred", the cells are red but hidden are also counted. Thanks.
Try this, the visible cells will be formatted
Set rng = Range("Your range").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
rng = ActiveCell.DisplayFormat.Interior.Color = vbRed
Here is the sample code for the "if" condition that you ask for.
Sub Highlight_Greater_Than()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim Rng As Range
Dim ColorCell As Range
Set ws = Worksheets("Name")
Set rng = Range("Your range").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
'rng = ActiveCell.DisplayFormat.Interior.Color = vbRed
Set ColorCell = rng
For Each ColorCell In Rng
If ColorCell.Value > 1 Then " You can define here" "greater, smaller, equal etc.."
ColorCell.Interior.Color = vbred
Else
ColorCell.Interior.ColorIndex = "vb(colour)or" xlNone
End If
Next
End Sub
I am using the below code to select the colored cells (Yellow) on usedrange.
In the same sheet I have other cells filled with another different colors.
I am asking, is it possible to use Application.FindFormat to find all the other different format (Color)?
I tried to use :
Application.FindFormat.Interior.Color <> vbYellow
But I got syntax error. In advance, grateful for all your help.
Sub Answer()
Dim ws As Worksheet: Set ws = ActiveSheet
Dim crg As Range
Set crg = ws.UsedRange
Application.FindFormat.Interior.Color = vbYellow
Dim rg As Range, c As Variant, FirstAddress As Variant
Set c = crg.Find(What:=vbNullString, SearchFormat:=True)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
FirstAddress = c.Address
Do
If rg Is Nothing Then
Set rg = c
Else
Set rg = Union(rg, c)
End If
Set c = crg.Find(What:=vbNullString, after:=c, SearchFormat:=True)
Loop While c.Address <> FirstAddress
rg.Select
Else
MsgBox "no cell with yellow color found"
End If
End Sub
The Application.FindFormat in Excel/VBA can do exactly the same as the Find-Dialog in Excel. As you can see, there is no "not equal" search in Excel for formatting, so there is no such search in VBA.
To get a list of colors and it's usage, you will have to loop over all cells. The following code builds a dictionary of colors and it's usage and dumps the result to the immediate window. Call it for example with ListAllColors ws.UsedRange
Sub ListAllColors(r As Range)
Dim colorList As Object
Set colorList = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In r
Dim color
If cell.Interior.ColorIndex <> xlNone Then
color = cell.Interior.color
If colorList.exists(color) Then
' Color already in List, add cell to Range
Dim colorRange As Range
Set colorRange = colorList(color)
Set colorList(color) = Union(colorRange, cell)
Else
' New color, add entry to Dict
colorList.Add color, ""
' Ensure that the content is set to the cell itself, not the value.
Set colorList(color) = cell
End If
End If
Next
' Dump the result
For Each color In colorList.keys
Dim red As Long, green As Long, blue As Long
Call getRGB(CLng(color), red, green, blue)
Debug.Print color, "R:" & red, "G:" & green, "B:" & blue, colorList(color).Address
Next
End Sub
' Split color into it's red, green and blue parts
Public Sub getRGB(color As Long, ByRef red As Long, ByRef green As Long, ByRef blue As Long)
red = color And vbRed
green = (color And vbGreen) \ &H100
blue = (color And vbBlue) \ &H10000
End Sub
Update
To get a range of all colored cells, you can simplify the code, you will still have to loop over all cells, but can immediately build the union. Have a look to the following function. I added an optional parameter so you can ignore all cells with a certain color (eg vbYellow).
Function GetColoredCells(r As Range, Optional IgnoreColor As Long = -1) As Range
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In r
Dim color
If cell.Interior.ColorIndex <> xlNone And cell.Interior.color <> IgnoreColor Then
If GetColoredCells Is Nothing Then
Set GetColoredCells = cell
Else
Set GetColoredCells = Union(GetColoredCells, cell)
End If
End If
Next
End Function
To omit the first line, call the function for example like that:
Set rg = GetColoredCells(ws.UsedRange.Offset(1, 0), vbYellow)
I would like to color rows with specific cell values (string) in a data set.
I have come across the following code which works perfectly with "entire row" but I would like to color the row only up to the last column which contains some value (and there are spaces in between).
I have tried to specify the last column and use it with Range to color, but it does not go well with vCell...
Thank you for the help!
Sub Highlight()
Dim vCell As Range
'Loop through every used cell in the active worksheet
For Each vCell In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
If InStr(vCell.Value, "anyword") Then
vCell.Font.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)
vCell.EntireRow.Interior.Color = RGB(204, 255, 204)
End If
Next
End Sub
Try below modified sub.
Sub Highlight()
Dim vCell As Range
Dim lastCol As Long
'Loop through every used cell in the active worksheet
For Each vCell In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
If InStr(vCell.Value, "anyword") Then
vCell.Font.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)
lastCol = Cells(vCell.Row, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
Range(Cells(vCell.Row, vCell.Column), Cells(vCell.Row, lastCol)).Interior.Color = RGB(204, 255, 204)
End If
Next
End Sub
Is this what you are trying?
Option Explicit
Sub Highlight()
Dim vCell As Range
Dim lCol As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
'~~> Set this to the relevant worksheet
Set ws = Sheet1
With ws
'~~> Loop through every used cell in the active worksheet
For Each vCell In .UsedRange
If InStr(vCell.Value, "anyword") Then
vCell.Font.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)
'~~> Find last column in that row
lCol = .Cells(vCell.Row, .Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
.Range(.Cells(vCell.Row, 1), .Cells(vCell.Row, lCol)).Interior.Color = RGB(204, 255, 204)
End If
Next
End With
End Sub
I've found this piece of code online and tried to modify it to do what i want. It works in a very basic way, where you assign it as a macro to a Form button, to find duplicates in 6 seperate columns, but is there a way of tidying up the code, and possibly automating it, so i don't have to press a form button to run the macro every time ?

Set Source5 = Range("I8:I105")

Some other ways to automate a macro are WorkSheet_Change and Workbook_Open events, but I would stick with Button_Click to initiate your macro.
The below code can be use to loop through the range in each column and color duplicate values using AutoFilter. If you want to color each group a different color, you can use the randomized RGB line of code.
Sub ColorDuplicates_wRGB()
'This macro loops thru each cell, if the cell has duplicates in the range, it filters the range using the cell value,
'then colors the visible cells in the range Red or with a unique color using RGB Colors.
'xlNone in the If statement, skips previous colored cells.
'Works with both sorted and unsorted data.
Dim ws As Worksheet, rng As Range, cel As Range, colr As String, i As Long 'Define your variables
Application.ScreenUpdating = False 'I hate to see the screen flickering
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1") 'identify the worksheet variable; you will need to change the sheet reference
For i = 5 To 9 'To loop through each column
Set rng = ws.Range(ws.Cells(8, i), ws.Cells(105, i))
rng.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone 'clear interior color for all cells in range
For Each cel In rng 'Loop
If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(rng, cel.Value) > 1 And cel.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone Then
'Filter using cel.Value
rng.AutoFilter field:=1, Criteria1:=cel.Value
colr = RGB(255, 0, 0)
'If you want different colors for each duplicate group use the next line
'colr = RGB(Int((255 - 1 + 1) * Rnd() + 1), Int((255 - 1 + 1) * Rnd() + 1), Int((255 - 1 + 1) * Rnd() + 1))
'Select the visible cells in range and color, the -1 removes the blank row at the end caused by Offset
rng.Offset(1).Resize(rng.Rows.Count - 1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Interior.Color = colr
rng.AutoFilter 'reset filter
End If
Next cel
Next i
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

I want to sum by color in excel, I try two codes: one for only red color and another for any color. The second does not work
Function SumColor(MatchColor As Range, sumRange As Range) As Double
Dim cell As Range
Dim myColor As Long
myColor = MatchColor.Cells(1,1).Interior.Color
For Each cell In sumRange
If cell.Interior.Color = myColor Then
SumColor = SumColor + cell.Value
End If
Next cell
End Function
