Example 1

This sample code uses a For ... Each loop to cycle through all of the selected cells, and then colors every cell that equals 5 with the color yellow.

Sub Check_Values_1()
   Dim CurCell As Object
   For Each CurCell In Selection
      If CurCell.Value = 5 Then CurCell.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
   Next
End Sub

Example 2

The following sample code loops through a specified range instead of the selected range, and then sets any cells that equal 10 to 21.

Sub Check_Values_2()
   Dim CurCell As Object
   For Each CurCell In Range("A1:A10")
      If CurCell.Value = 10 Then CurCell.Value = 21
   Next
End Sub
