Happy Friday!

I have this code that searches the range CalendarFloorsColumn for cells whose background color is red. It takes the data it finds in those cells and copies it to a column on another sheet called BoiseRequests.

What I need to do is have it copy additional data from columns B and D from the same row as the found red cells.

If there's a red cell in row 500 of the CalendarFloorsColumn range it would copy the data from that cell as well as the data from B500 and D500 to cell A1, A2 and A3 of the BoiseRequests sheet. The next red cell found would copy data to the next row down (B1, B2 and B3) on BoiseRequests and so on. make sense?

Here's my fabulous code...

VBA Code:
Sub BoiseRequests()
    Dim MR As Excel.Range
    Dim rngCell As Excel.Range
    Dim rngCount As Long
    
    Set MR = Sheets("Calendar").Range("CalendarFloorsColumn")
    
    rngCount = 1
    
    For Each rngCell In MR
        If rngCell.DisplayFormat.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0) Then
            Sheets("BoiseRequests").Range("A" & rngCount) = rngCell.Value
            rngCount = rngCount + 1
        End If
    Next rngCell
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Add Bullets to Range
Select range. Press Ctrl+1. On Number tab, choose Custom. Type Alt+7 then space then @ sign (using 7 on numeric keypad)
Which column is your CalendarFloorsColumn?
Also you said
The next red cell found would copy data to the next row down
Do you mean next row or next column?

Do you mean next row or next column?

Column O

I want the data from O, B and D from all the "red cell" rows to copy over to the second sheet.

Hope that makes sense.

And what about the 2nd question?

So the 1st red cell should populate A1, A2 & A3 & then the next one should populate A4, A5 & A6? Rather than B1, B2 & B3 like you originally said?

Ok, how about
VBA Code:
Sub BoiseRequests()
    Dim MR As Excel.Range
    Dim rngCell As Excel.Range
    Dim rngCount As Long
    
    Set MR = Sheets("Calendar").Range("CalendarFloorsColumn")
    
    rngCount = 1
    
    For Each rngCell In MR
        If rngCell.DisplayFormat.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0) Then
            With Sheets("BoiseRequests").Range("A" & rngCount)
               .Value = rngCell.Value
               .Offset(, 1).Resize(, 2).Value = Array(Range("B" & rngCell.Row).Value, Range("D" & rngCell.Row).Value)
            End With
            rngCount = rngCount + 1
        End If
    Next rngCell
End Sub

            With Sheets("BoiseRequests").Range("A" & rngCount)
               .Value = rngCell.Value
               .Offset(, 1).Resize(, 2).Value = Array(Range("B" & rngCell.Row).Value, Range("D" & rngCell.Row).Value)
            End With
            rngCount = rngCount + 1
        End If
    Next rngCell
End Sub

All that shows is the dates from the red cells (column O). No data from columns B and D.
