Hi,

Is it possible to do a formula like when cell background (or font color) is
red, a certain cell will return some value?

Thanks!

Functions
 

Possible with a VBA-Function like :

Function cValue(rng As Range, xValue)
Application.Volatile
If rng.Interior.ColorIndex = 3 Or rng.Font.ColorIndex = 3 Then cValue = xValue
End Function

in ur sheet type : =cValue(any-cell,any-value)

Just a note. Changing a cells background colour does not force a calculation.
So when you first change the background the value will not show up. It will
show up as soon as any action is taken that cuases a calculation anywhere in
the application.
