Bob,

You are exactly right - the CF is formula based.
I'm trying your CFColorCount function but it is returning a "False" value.
The CFColorIndex function returns the correct value.

Thanks for your help!

BTW, I'm not real knowledgeable about code so please be specific with any
suggestions to changes. And patient :) Thanks!

cater for that. See here if so

We found Chip Pearson's site: http://www.cpearson.com/excel/CFColors.htm
with
some code that is supposed to count the cells with conditional formatting
applied. But we can not get it to work. What are we missing????

We are trying to use this:
CountOfCF
This function return the number of cells in a range that have a specified
conditional format applied. Set the last argument to -1 to look at all
format
conditions, or a number between 1 and 3 to specify a particular condition.
This function requires the ActiveCondition function. You can call this
function directly from a worksheet cell with a formula like:
=CountOfCF(A1:A10,1)

We have that function in a module in the workbook. We also have the code
for
the Active Condition Function and the GetStripped Function pasted in the
same
module.

In the cell where we want the count to appear, we enter the CountofCf
function with the range and the number of the Conditional Formatting
condition. We either get a 0, when there should be a number, or we get a
circular reference, even though the cell with the formula is not listed in
the range.

Any ideas what we might be doing wrong?
