Create a Macro to look at value entered in cell, against table for cell coloured in green

[surkdidat]

Hi

I have a table from A2:F50.

In cell H2, i want the use to input a value, and in Cell H3, I want it to look at the table and bring up the value.

However, I only want it to look at cells coloured in Green ( 146 / 208 / 80 #92D050 )

Then in the results cell I need it to provide the column header found in row 2 of the table (The cell will be green in the below example not the font colour)

So, I enter "DOG" in H2, I want "ANIMAL2" to populate in H3.

Or, I enter "HORSE" in H2, and brings up "Animal 3"

There maybe occasions, when its in 2 places so I would like H3 to return something like (for pig) = "Animal 2 ; Animal 3" or "Animal 2 or Animal 3"

Thanks in advance

	Column A	Column B	Column C	Column D
Row 1
Row 2	Animal	Animal 2	Animal 3	Animal 4
Row 3	CAT	CAT	CAT	CAT
Row 4	DOG	DOG	DOG	DOG
Row 5	HORSE	HORSE	HORSE	HORSE
Row 6	PIG	PIG	PIG	PIG

Without see ing the file it is not possible to get solution. With the font color index in the file only we can write the code.

UDF (User DefinedFunction) is better than Macro. So i have given Code for UDF.
Code:

Function GetColorHeader(IpRng As Range, Cri As String) As String
Dim Rng As Range, Cel As Range, K%
For Each Cel In IpRng
If Cel.Interior.ColorIndex <> -4142 Then
K = Range("B4").Interior.ColorIndex
Exit For
End If
Next Cel

For Each Cel In IpRng
If Cel.Interior.ColorIndex = K And UCase(Cel) = UCase(Cri) Then
GetColorHeader = IpRng.Cells(1, Cel.Column - IpRng.Column + 1)
Exit For
End If
Next Cel
End Function

In I2 enter UDF
=GetColorHeader($A$2:$D$6,H2)

How to Use UDF code:
In the developer tab click--> Visual Basic
VB window opens
Insert--> Module
Paste the code.
Close the VB window.
Now UDF is available in Function List
