Thanks Bob, the other question I had, is how do you get this to update those
equations or to re-calculate when you change the colors of the cells? I did
check to make sure that my recalc is set to automatic already.

Thanks Bob, that works great - but here is another question - I know that
the
3 is for Red, how do I find out what the other related numbers are for
other
colors?

Then it isn't conditional formatting.

You will need a function, like this

Function CI(rng as Range)
If rng.Count 1 Then
CI = cvErr(xlErrRef)
Else
Ci = rng.Interior.Colorindex
End If
End Function

and in your cell, use

=IF(CI(A1)=3,99,100)

which tests for Red.

Because there are not values that caused the coloring - that was
entered
by
hand

Why not use the value that has caused the other cell to come up red.

So if your conditional formatting for A1 depends on say the content
being greater than 10, then using an if statement in B1 to insert
the
value you want =if(A110,Value you want).
