This article contains two sample Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications macros (Sub procedures) that loop through a range of cells and determine if each cell in the range meets certain criteria.

Sample Visual Basic Procedures
The first example uses a For...Each loop to cycle through all of the selected cells and shades every cell that equals 5 with the color yellow. Sub Check_Values_1 Dim CurCell As Object For Each CurCell In Selection If CurCell.Value = 5 Then CurCell.Interior.ColorIndex = 6 Next End Sub The following example loops through a specified range instead of the selected range and sets any cells that equal 10 to 20. Sub Check_Values_2 Dim CurCell As Object For Each CurCell In Range("A1:A10") If CurCell.Value = 10 Then CurCell.Value = 21 Next End Sub For additional information on looping, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
