Formula to recognize if another cell's conditional format is true
 

My apologies, I might not have made it very clear.

A1=1 but never changes except for a conditional format that changes it to
red if another cell meets the criteria. If the other cell doesn't meet the
criteria, it remains a 1 with no fill. I can do a formula to recognize the
cell that caused A1 to turn red but there are other items in the background
that warrant only recognizing A1 has turned red.

In another cell, I need to do an IF statement that causese a formula to run
if A1 is red.

What is the formula to have a cell do something if another cell's
conditional format is true and reacts.

=IF(A1=0,1)

The same condition applies

We have tried to capture the background color of a cell that is conditionally
formatted, but with no luck. The best I can do is to copy the cells into a
Word table; copy the table back into Excel and test the color with VBA!?!

So until Excel decides to expose the colorcode, just examine the conditional
equations and decide that way.
