SUMMARY
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.
MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied.

This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements.
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
