Hello, I have been working on a VBA macro that is taking data entered from one sheet and matching to a column on another sheet used as a database. The matching process works fine, I can get the data entered to match in the database and highlight the font so it is distinguishable. The issue is that for the next round of entered data, I want the macro to skip the colored font. I have tried Offset, hiding the cells, deleting them, etc. but to no avail. I have a second macro that resets all of the matched values back to normal so at the end it can start again. Here is my VBA code; the “rng5” is where I am trying to figure out to skip over the colored fonts i.e. color index=3. I put in an Else count to verify it is counting the colored or black bells-depending on the color index. Any suggestions would be appreciated. PS I also posted this on Linked in Excel Developers. Thanks,
