P Pete_UK Aug 15, 2008 #2 Take a look at this page on Chip Pearson's site: http://www.cpearson.com/excel/SortByColor.htm It shows you how to do it, and there is an example sheet you can download with all the functions in. Hope this helps. Pete

G Gord Dibben Aug 15, 2008 #5 How did the columns and rows get to be colored? If by Conditional Formatting maybe you can sort on the values that created the colors? If manually see Chip Pearson's site for code. http://www.cpearson.com/excel/SortByColor.htm CF-colored cells do not respond to the colorindex property so you need something else. http://www.cpearson.com/excel/CFColors.htm Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP
