In Cell A1, A2, A3, A4, etc, I have test data that is colored Yellow, Blue, etc. In Cell b1, b2, b3, b4, etc., I have the values I want charted as a line chart. But, I want to chart to pick up data in col. B for cells that are colored yellow in Col. A. Without writing any VB Code, is there a way to do this? Thanks

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Hi, it's not really clear to me what you want exactly.

Are you saying some random values in column A will be coloured yellow - let's say A2 and A4 for example, and all others will be coloured blue ?

And you want the chart to show only the data for the yellow ones ?

The only way I can think of doing this (without VBA) is to define what your logic is for colouring certain values yellow, and then writing that logic into a formula which pulls the "yellow" values into a column, and doesn't pull the blue values.
