How to find color index from conditional formatting with vba?

    I want to clear all of the content on the cell that has color index 15 from VBA, I have tried but it can't be found. But if the cell filled color manually (not from conditional formatting) the vba can find it and clear the content from the cells. Please, help me how to find the color index from CF after that clear content automatically.

    If you have Excel 2010 or later, you need to use the DisplayFormat property of the Range.

    If you show your code, I'll show you how to change it. ;)

    Use this:

    Code
    Sub CCVALUES()     
    For Each Cell In Range("G1:AK500")
        If Cell.DisplayFormat.Interior.ColorIndex = 15 Then
            Cell.ClearContents
        End If
    Next
     
End Sub
