Please see my code below. What is happening here is when the month changes
to Aug for example certain background colors which were colored in Jul will
now be colored in Aug. Everything works except Now that we are in the month
of Aug, Jul background colors are still colored and I now do not want those
cells to have color anymore. The only coloring should be in current month,
mmm. Can you help fix my code. Very new to this. Thank you.

' ALSO, HOW DO I MAKE THIS CODE ACTIVATE WHEN I OPEN THE WORKBOOK?

SHEET2, ETC.) BUT NOT ALL SHEETS

' Find last row of data in current month column

Jane,

Something like

Dim MyCell
For Each MyCell in Range("F9:Q500")
Select Case MyCell.Interior.ColorIndex
Case Is =4
Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
Etc

End Select
Next MyCell

Try again!
Correct this time.

Dim MyCell As Range
For Each MyCell in Range("F9:Q500")
Select Case MyCell.Interior.ColorIndex
Case Is =4
MyCell.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
Etc

End Select
Next MyCell

Thanks so much for your reply. It didn't work completely. It didn't work on
cells with background of red and there was one cell that is light purple that
didn't change. Do I have the wrong color code for light purple? This is what
I added. Did I do it right?

For Each MyCell In Range("F9:Q500")
Select Case MyCell.Interior.ColorIndex
Case Is = 4
MyCell.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
End Select
Next
For Each MyCell In Range("F9:Q500")
Select Case MyCell.Interior.ColorIndex
Case Is = 35
MyCell.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
End Select
Next
For Each MyCell In Range("F9:Q500")
Select Case MyCell.Interior.ColorIndex
Case Is = 36
MyCell.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
End Select
Next
For Each MyCell In Range("F9:Q500")
Select Case MyCell.Interior.ColorIndex
Case Is = 7
MyCell.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
End Select
Next
For Each MyCell In Range("F9:Q500")
Select Case MyCell.Interior.ColorIndex
Case Is = 54
MyCell.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
End Select
Next

Henry, I fixed my problem. It was on my side. What you gave me was great. I
realize I have another problem though which is, if we are in the month of
"Aug" I am inputting month end information for "Jul" so month end "Jun" needs
to have the background color change to "no color". Your help is appreciated.

Sorry, I don't know the CI for light purple.
You could step through (F8) your code until MyCell points to a light purple
cell.
Then hover your cursor over MyCell.Interior.ColorIndex.
A tooltip with the value will pop up.

Jane,

To refer to the month before last, use:

MyMonth =Month(Date) -2

This will give you the month number (1 to 12)

If you want to refer to a particular column (assuming the months are in
columns A to L)

Range("A1").Offset(0,MyMonth -1) will refer to the cell with the Monthname
in it.

If we take today's date Month(Date) = 8 'August
Month(Date) - 2 = 6 'June
MyMonth = 6
Range("A1").Offset(0,MyMonth -1) =
Goto A1 and then move 6 - 1 = 5 columns to the right

= Cell F1 which will contain the text "June"
If you prefer, you can put this all into 1 line:
Range("A1").Offset(0,Month(Date) -3) to give the same result without the
intermediate variable (MyMonth)
This will also run faster.

I think that will work. Thanks so much!
