You could use Format|Conditional formatting and a UserDefined Function.

In a General Module:

Option Explicit
Function IsFormula(rng As Range)
IsFormula = rng(1).HasFormula
End Function

Then back to excel and use this in your Format|conditional formatting rules:

Formula is: =isformula(A1)

(If A1 is the activecell.)

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:

Hi all,
I want to be able to have cell with formulas show with a different color.
I tried with conditional formatting but can't figure out how.

Can someone please help me.

Thanks in advance,
