I see one of the lines word wrapped in a bad location which might throw some
people, so here is the function with a line continuation inserted so that
the line won't wrap in that bad spot...
Function GetCellColorIndex(C As Range) As Variant
Dim X As Long, Op As Long, Condition As Boolean, FC As FormatCondition
Dim CurrAddr As String, CVal As Variant, Operators() As String
Operators = Split("=,<,=,<,,<,=,<=,<=,", ",")
If C.Count = 1 Then
CurrAddr = ActiveCell.Address
C.Select
For X = 1 To C.FormatConditions.Count
Set FC = C.FormatConditions(X)
If FC.Type = xlExpression Then
If Evaluate(FC.Formula1) Then GoTo Done
Else
If IsEmpty(C.Value) Then
CVal = """"""
Else
CVal = C.Value
End If
Op = FC.Operator
If Op = xlBetween Then
If Evaluate(CVal & Operators(Op - 1) & FC.Formula1) And _
Evaluate(CVal & Operators(Op + 7) & FC.Formula2) _
Then GoTo Done
ElseIf Op = xlNotBetween Then
If Evaluate(CVal & Operators(Op - 1) & FC.Formula1) Or _

Mid(FC.Formula1, 2)) Then GoTo Done
ElseIf Evaluate(CVal & Operators(Op - 1) & FC.Formula1) Then
GoTo Done
End If
End If
Next
GetCellColorIndex = C.Interior.ColorIndex
Else
GetCellColorIndex = CVErr(xlErrRef)

Ah, I see the problem now. Okay, what about the following function then? I
think I caught all the problem areas, but I can't be sure... the
Conditional Format structure seems like such a complicated mess underneath
it all.
Function GetCellColorIndex(C As Range) As Variant
Dim X As Long, Op As Long, Condition As Boolean, FC As FormatCondition
Dim CurrAddr As String, CVal As Variant, Operators() As String
Operators = Split("=,<,=,<,,<,=,<=,<=,", ",")
If C.Count = 1 Then
CurrAddr = ActiveCell.Address
C.Select
For X = 1 To C.FormatConditions.Count
Set FC = C.FormatConditions(X)
If FC.Type = xlExpression Then
If Evaluate(FC.Formula1) Then GoTo Done
Else
If IsEmpty(C.Value) Then
CVal = """"""
Else
CVal = C.Value
End If
Op = FC.Operator
If Op = xlBetween Then
If Evaluate(CVal & Operators(Op - 1) & FC.Formula1) And _
Evaluate(CVal & Operators(Op + 7) & FC.Formula2) _
Then GoTo Done
ElseIf Op = xlNotBetween Then
If Evaluate(CVal & Operators(Op - 1) & FC.Formula1) Or _
Evaluate(CVal & Operators(Op + 7) & FC.Formula2) _
Then GoTo Done
ElseIf Left(FC.Formula1, 1) = "=" Then
If Evaluate(CVal & Operators(Op - 1) & Mid(FC.Formula1, 2)) Then
GoTo Done
ElseIf Evaluate(CVal & Operators(Op - 1) & FC.Formula1) Then
GoTo Done
End If
End If
Next
GetCellColorIndex = C.Interior.ColorIndex
Else
GetCellColorIndex = CVErr(xlErrRef)
End If
GoTo RestoreActiveCell
Done:
GetCellColorIndex = FC.Interior.ColorIndex
RestoreActiveCell:
Range(CurrAddr).Select
End Function
I should also note, as written, this function is only good for active
worksheet... if you think it works properly (or nearly so<g), then I'll
try to modify it for non-active worksheets.

Rick, I have tested this now/before and it is true that it returns the
color
index. Maybe you have missed the second post done by the OP.
"Those expressions tell me what colorindex I have set for each condition
and
how many conditions I'm using, but they don't tell me which one is
active."
If you really need an example.. FormatCell Value IsEqual to2 and try
passing a cell reference which is blank..
If this post helps click Yes

Did you try my function? I'm pretty sure it will work correctly for all
Conditional Formats... give it a try. And if you find a condition that
it
does not work for, please let me know and I will try to adjust for it.

Rick, more conditions are to be dealt with like 'Cell Value' equal to,
not
equal to, greater than and so on ..to make this work for any CF
conditions;;

One last point about this function... it can **only** be used from
within
your own VB code... it **cannot** be used as a UDF (User Defined

Here is a slight modification that will keep the currently active
cell
active after the function has finished running...
Function GetCellColorIndex(C As Range) As Variant
Dim Op As Long, Condition As Boolean, CurrAddr As String
If C.Count = 1 Then
CurrAddr = ActiveCell.Address
C.Select
On Error Resume Next
For X = 1 To C.FormatConditions.Count
Op = C.FormatConditions(X).Operator
If Evaluate(C.FormatConditions(X).Formula1) Then
If Op = xlBetween Or Op = xlNotBetween Then
Condition = Evaluate(C.FormatConditions(X).Formula2)
Else
Condition = True
End If
If Condition Then
GetCellColorIndex =
C.FormatConditions(X).Interior.ColorIndex
Range(CurrAddr).Select
Exit Function
End If
End If
Next
GetCellColorIndex = C.Interior.ColorIndex
Else
GetCellColorIndex = CVErr(xlErrRef)
End If
Range(CurrAddr).Select
End Function

The following function will return the ColorIndex of the cell
passed
into
it. If a Conditional Format is in effect, the function will return
the
ColorIndex imposed by the Conditional Format; otherwise, it will
return
the cell's interior ColorIndex. If you pass more than one cell to
the
function, it will error out (you can test this if need be by using
the
IsError function).
Function GetCellColorIndex(C As Range) As Variant
Dim Op As Long, Condition As Boolean
If C.Count = 1 Then
C.Select
On Error Resume Next
For X = 1 To Range("B3").FormatConditions.Count
Op = C.FormatConditions(X).Operator
If Evaluate(C.FormatConditions(X).Formula1) Then
If Op = xlBetween Or Op = xlNotBetween Then
Condition = Evaluate(C.FormatConditions(X).Formula2)
Else
Condition = True
End If
If Condition Then
GetCellColorIndex =
C.FormatConditions(X).Interior.ColorIndex
Exit Function
End If
End If
Next
GetCellColorIndex = C.Interior.ColorIndex

GetCellColorIndex = CVErr(xlErrRef)

Is there any way to determine the colorindex of a conditionally
formatted cell?
