I have a spreadsheet that has been partially filled by someone else.
They have filled in all cells relating to a certain condition with
the background colour of yellow. Unfortunately this is the only
indicator he has used, and I now need to filter based on the colour
selection.

What I am wanting to do is enter a value in a cell dependant on the
colour of a different cell. What I mean by this is that if the
background colour of B2 is yellow, put YES in A2 and so on down the
rows.

Can anyone offer me some advice on this?

Cheers,
