I need a macro to check cells looking for letter. Depending on the letter, I want to assign a colour to the cell. I know how it work for one cell but how I can move the cursor to the next cells, like a loop?

XL-Dennis provided some looping code with the proviso that for large ranges there exist much quicker approaches than looping through a range. Dennis also added some Error checking in case the cells contained error values.

Sub Check_Range_Value()
Dim rnArea As Range
Dim rnCell As Range

Set rnArea = Range("A1:B11")

For Each rnCell In rnArea
     With rnCell
        If Not IsError(.Value) Then
      Select Case .Value
          Case "R"
             .Interior.ColorIndex = 45
          Case "Y"
            .Interior.ColorIndex = 20
      End Select
       End If
   End With
Next

End Sub
