Default Can a formula be made to see color of cell text?

If the red text is a result of Conditional Formatting, you could use the same
criteria on the second sheet.

If colored manually, you would need VBA to select the cells.

See Bob Phillips' site for more on this.

We use Excel for our timesheets. I would like to keep track of my sick time
and vacations by putting them in red when I take them and compile them on a
seperate worksheet.
