I have got an excel sheet and there are some cells with just colour and i don’t wish to include them for analysis purpose / output .

 

Without any edits in Excel sheet (eg. add some kind of numeric or standard text for colour cell etc.) i wish to remove or exclude. I also don’t wish to depend on any other column or cell value to filter rows with ORANGE colour cell 

 

I WANT to remove / exclude entire ROW that has yellow colour in cell in Column NCR Ref

    So @danilo_fme please on another know-how does it mean if I want to find or identify if any STRIKED records in Excel sheet,then I type “Strike” in (Right Value )and it would pass entire rows / cell in rows that are striked off i.e. Strike and Not Stiked rows could as well be seperated likewise separating records based on CELL colour? 

    Also where can I or which documents on FME could I find such settings or commands please /Br
