Excel conditional formatting

[Luke]

I have a spreadsheet with thousands of rows, some of these rows have a green background.

Does anyone know an easy way to hide all cells that don't have a green background?

I'm guessing either a VBA macro or conditional formatting option should be the way forward, but I have skills in neither unfortunately.

cheers

I've found a macro that seems to do half the work, but it needs tweaking:

Sub colmac()
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Sheets("Translation sheet").Range("c1:c5000")
If cell.Interior.ColorIndex <> 35 Then
Rows("11:11").EntireRow.Hidden = True
Exit Sub
End If
Next cell
End Sub

Now this hides cell C11 as it conforms to the colour I have specified, but I need it to do this with every cell in that column (assuming it is the correct colour).

Can anyone help me fix this?

thanks

Looks good, I'll give that a whirl.

Much appreciated

Just tried that and it worked perfectly. You're a star and have saved me a huge amount of time!
