My question is now answered. I have selected several cells in excel, e.g. Range("B3:F6"). Running the following code, that I copied from the answer below results in coloring the empty cells grey:
Sub CellColor()
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Selection.Cells
If IsEmpty(cell.Value) Then
cell.Interior.Color = RGB(217, 217, 217)
End If
Next cell
End Sub
(I have already deleted my false code accidentally.)
A Quick Fix
Sub CellColor()
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Selection.Cells
If IsEmpty(cell.Value) Then
cell.Interior.Color = RGB(217, 217, 217)
End If
Next cell
End Sub
An Improvement
Sub HighlightEmpties()
If Selection Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Nothing selected.", vbExclamation
Exit Sub
End If
If Not TypeOf Selection Is Range Then
MsgBox "No range selected.", vbExclamation
Exit Sub
End If
Dim urg As Range, cell As Range
For Each cell In Selection.Cells
If IsEmpty(cell.Value) Then
If urg Is Nothing Then
Set urg = cell
Else
Set urg = Union(urg, cell)
End If
End If
Next cell
If urg Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "No empty cells found.", vbInformation
Exit Sub
End If
urg.Interior.Color = RGB(217, 217, 217)
End Sub
