Hi Will,
You cannot do that with a formula in the cell. If you can calculate the color you can use Conditional Formatting, which would be the most efficient. http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/condfmt.htm Conditional Formatting is limited to a choice of 3 colors (besides original default). Though you Bob Phillip's macro to that looks like the builtin use -- there is a link on the above page. Otherwise, to get the color of another cell you would have to use a User Defined Function, which is not going to be efficient but if you've worked yourself into a corner it will help see Chip Pearson's Functions For Working With Cell Colors http://www.cpearson.com/excel/colors.htm Some more information on Colors in Excel http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/colors.htm --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Will Doss" <Will wrote in message ...
