Default Extracting colored cells from one spreadsheet into another


I have a spreadsheet color coded with red and green cells (in multiple columns). I need ANOTHER spreadsheet to extract and display just the red cells from the original and place them in a single column. How do I do that?

Are the cells colored manually or by conditional formatting ?

What order is required on the new sheet, by row or by column ?

Default formatting

The cells are colored manually. They identify what work still needs to be done (red) vs. what work has been completed (green).

You responded too fast.

I edited my original post to add another question.
Should also have asked for the definition of "ANOTHER" spreadsheet and why it was capitalized.

LOL - I just really need an answer!

"Another spreadsheet" is only significant because it's located in a different directory from the original, not just a tab in the same workbook.

The order isn't important, they just all need to be consolidated into 1 column. The original has multiple columns (about 243?) of about 45 rows or less. In the final spreadsheet I just need one column with however many lines it takes to list all of the red cells.

Maybe something like this... you'll need to deal with the things you're not telling us.
Code:
Sub CopyRedValues()

    Dim cel As Range
    Dim writerow As Long

writerow = 2    

For Each cel In Sheets("source sheet name").UsedRange
    If cel.Interior.Color = vbRed Then
        cel.Copy
        destinationworkbook.Sheets("ANOTHER").Range("A" & writerow).PasteSpecial xlValues
        writerow = writerow + 1
    End If
Next cel

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub
