I am trying to populate a rota of myself and colleagues (where unfortunately roles are denoted by colour of cell) and automatically update sub-roles/jobs based on a separate 'jobs-rota'

Cross-posting: I have posted previously here - Help with populating rota based on colour of cell and have tried to solve issue but keep coming across problems

Currently I have managed to achieve what I want, but only for the red cells (I believe this is due to the way that MATCH and INDEX functions work by finding the first cell that meets the criteria - and this happens to be a red cell)

See below for the VBA code I am using currently...

VBA Code:
Sub populaterota()
Dim c As Range
Dim r As Long
For Each c In Selection
If c.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0) Then c.Value = c.Value & " " & (Application.WorksheetFunction.Index(Sheet2.Range("B3:E17"), Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(Sheet1.Range("D" & c.Row), Sheet2.Range("A3:A17"), 0), Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(Sheet1.Range("B" & c.Row), Sheet2.Range("B2:E2"), 0)))
If c.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 255, 0) Then c.Value = c.Value & " " & (Application.WorksheetFunction.Index(Sheet2.Range("B3:E17"), Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(Sheet1.Range("D" & c.Row), Sheet2.Range("A3:A17"), 0), Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(Sheet1.Range("B" & c.Row), Sheet2.Range("B2:E2"), 0)))
If c.Interior.Color = RGB(68, 114, 196) Then c.Value = c.Value & " " & (Application.WorksheetFunction.Index(Sheet2.Range("B3:E17"), Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(Sheet1.Range("D" & c.Row), Sheet2.Range("A3:A17"), 0), Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(Sheet1.Range("B" & c.Row), Sheet2.Range("B2:E2"), 0)))
Next
End Sub

What I am trying to do is populate the main rota on sheet 1 with the jobs on sheet2 - matching both week number (1-4) and day of week, but only for the defined cell colours on the main rota

I would be grateful for any help or suggestions. I am interested in VBA (of which I am definitely a novice) and looking to continue to learn so explanations also very much appreciated. Thank you
