Answer 1

You need to check the MSDN documentation of UsedRange Property. Also see the 56 Excel ColorIndex Colors to verify the color index of yellow. Look this also Change cell background color using VBA .

I use the Excel sheet as below :

Here is the code :

require 'win32ole'

# create an instance of the Excel application object
excel = WIN32OLE.new('Excel.Application')
# make Excel visible
excel.visible = true
# open the excel from the desired path
wb=excel.workbooks.open("C:\\Users\\test.xlsx")
# get the first Worksheet
wbs= wb.worksheets(1)
# fill the column with a specific coloe
wbs.usedrange.interior.colorindex = 6
