Hi,

I am trying to detect which cells contain text that is strikethrough, but my loop is passing over a bunch of cells without detecting the strikethrough text in them.

Here's my Code:

VBA Code:
Private Sub FilterList()

    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim rngCheck As Range, rng As Range
    Dim lastRow As Long
    Dim lastCol As Long
   
   
   
 
    Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
   

    lastCol = ws.UsedRange.Find("reference").column
   
    lastRow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).row
   
    Set rng = ws.Range("A1:" & Chr(64 + lastCol) & CStr(lastRow))
   
   
   
    For Each rngCheck In rng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
       
        rngCheck.Select
       
        If rngCheck.Cells.Font.Strikethrough = True Then
          rngCheck.Cells.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0)
        Else
       
        End If
   
    Next rngCheck
   
   
End Sub

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
I found the answer. I had to check using IsNull. Here's the new code:

VBA Code:
Private Sub FilterList()

Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim rngCheck As Range, rng As Range
Dim lastRow As Long
Dim lastCol As Long




Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)


lastCol = ws.UsedRange.Find("reference").column

lastRow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).row

Set rng = ws.Range("A1:" & Chr(64 + lastCol) & CStr(lastRow))



For Each rngCheck In rng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)

rngCheck.Select

If IsNull(rngCheck.Cells.Font.Strikethrough) Then
rngCheck.Cells.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0)
Else

End If

Next rngCheck


End Sub

Are you sure?
If the cell has strikethrough all the way, IsNull returns False.

Rich (BB code):
Private Sub FilterList()

    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim rngCheck As Range, rng As Range
    Dim lastRow As Long
    Dim lastCol As Long
    Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
    
    lastCol = ws.UsedRange.Find("reference").Column
    
    lastRow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
    
    Set rng = ws.Range("A1", ws.Cells(lastRow, lastCol))
    
    For Each rngCheck In rng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
        
        If rngCheck.Font.Strikethrough Then
            rngCheck.Cells.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0)
        ElseIf IsNull(rngCheck.Cells.Font.Strikethrough) Then
            rngCheck.Cells.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0)
        End If
    Next rngCheck


End Sub
