I have a table that was pasted values from a pivot table. The first and second column (Fund and Vendor Name columns) have subtotals. I have the following code to highlight any subtotal rows for column A, but how do I do it for column B?

VBA Code:
Dim myRange As Range
    Set myRange = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Summary").Range("A6:J" & Range("J" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
    With myRange.Borders
    .LineStyle = xlContinuous
    .ColorIndex = 0
    .TintAndShade = 0
    .Weight = xlThin
    End With
    With myRange
        .FormatConditions.Delete
        .FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=AND(NOT(ISBLANK($A6)),ISBLANK($E6))"
           .FormatConditions(.FormatConditions.Count).Interior.Color = 15189684
        End With
    myRange.Select
    Selection.AutoFilter
    ActiveSheet.myRange.AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:=RGB(180, 198, 231), Operator:=xlFilterCellColor
End Sub

I had tried the code below and it didn't work.
VBA Code:
With myRange
        .FormatConditions.Delete
        .FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=SEARCH (" * Total * ", $B6)"
           .FormatConditions(.FormatConditions.Count).Interior.Color = 11854022
        End With

Also, how do I filter the Fund column (column A) to only show the rows with the specific blue fill color and delete the word Total from only those filtered rows then add a vlookup formula in column B only for those filtered rows.

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
VBA Code:
With myRange
   .FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=SEARCH (" * Total * ", $B6)"
   .FormatConditions(.FormatConditions.Count).Interior.Color = 11854022
End With

Why does the code above not work?

        .FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=AND(NOT(ISBLANK($A6)),ISBLANK($E6))"
        .FormatConditions(1).Interior.Color = 15189684
        .FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=SEARCH(""Total"",$B6)"
        .FormatConditions(2).Interior.Color = 11854022
        End With
    myRange.Select
    Selection.AutoFilter
    ActiveSheet.myRange.AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:=RGB(180, 198, 231), Operator:=xlFilterCellColor

I got the conditional format to work but now my problem is the filter is not working, the VBA creates a filter on the header but it's not filtering out only the blue cells. I need it to look like the image below and apply the vlookup formula to only the filtered cells and to delete the word Total from column A.

Try removing the ActiveSheet i.e.
VBA Code:
myRange.AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:=RGB(180, 198, 231), Operator:=xlFilterCellColor

Solution
I changed the coding to the following and it worked! Thank you!

VBA Code:
 With myRange
        .AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:=RGB(180, 198, 231), Operator:=xlFilterCellColor
    End With
    Range("B7:B" & Range("J" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(LEFT(RC[-1],3),Fund!C[-1]:C,2,FALSE)"

Only thing now is that I don't want the vlookup formula on the last row, the Grand Total, how do I exclude the last row?

First all the With / End With is doing nothing extra to the line that I posted as you are only working with one action.

2nd, you aren't showing what the error says, you are just showing the yellow triangle in the image (Edit: and now the image has gone)

It seems you are editing the post, I'll look back at it later

I'm sorry, I made some edits and it worked, the only problem now is that I didn't want the vlookup on the last row, the Grand Total row.
