Delete highlighted rows
I have a spreadsheet with half the rows highlighted in yellow. I want to delete the rows with the background highlighted in yellow and keep the rows with "no fill" or no highlighting. How do I do this?
On the same topic, after I have conditionally formatted and so highlighted some cell values (e.g. if over 500), how do I delete all the highlighted cells or replace them with 0?
Thank you for your help.

RE: Delete highlighted rows
Hello Tashi,
Thank you for your question regarding conditional deleting of rows.
This could be achieved through VBA code. The following code will delete any rows that are coloured standard yellow. You may be able to adapt this to suit your needs. You can specify any colour by using the RGB value instead of the standard vbyellow Ive used here for demonstration purposes.
You could easily alter this code to achieve the answer to your second question.
sample code:
Sub DeleteRows()
Range("A1").Select
Do Until ActiveCell = ""
If ActiveCell.Interior.Color = vbYellow Then
ActiveCell.Rows.Delete
Else
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
End If
Loop
End Sub
I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.
If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?
Have a great day.
Regards,
Mark
