Lesson#180: How do you copy a color from one cell to another?

Here we shall learn a code that will copy a color from one cell to another using VBA.

1. Open the VBA editor: In Excel, press Alt + F11 to open the VBA editor.
2. Create a new module: In the VBA editor, go to the Insert menu and select Module. This will create a new module where you can write your VBA code.

Here is a function in VBA that you can use to copy the interior color of a target cell to the active cell:

Sub CopyInteriorColor(targetCell As Range)
    ' Get the interior color of the target cell
    Dim targetColor As Long
    targetColor = targetCell.Interior.Color

    ' Set the active cell's interior color to the target color
    ActiveCell.Interior.Color = targetColor
End Sub

To use this function, you can call it from your VBA code and pass it to a target cell as an argument. For example:

Sub TestCopyInteriorColor()
    ' Set the target cell
    Dim targetCell As Range
    Set targetCell = Range("A1")

    ' Copy the interior color from the target cell to the active cell
    CopyInteriorColor targetCell
End Sub
