Coloured Cells
Is it possible to use a formula to return a value of True if a cell you refer
to is coloured or not? What I want to do is: If Sheet1 A1 is shaded red, then I want a cell in Sheet2 to return P for paid, if not stay blank? Thanx Becks |

Coloured Cells
If you are willing to use a small UDF, then you can test for color. Enter
this UDF: Function IsRed(r As Range) As Integer IsRed = 0 If r.Interior.ColorIndex = 3 Then IsRed = 1 End If End Function Then in A1 in Sheet2 enter: =IF(IsRed(Sheet1!A1)=1,"P","") -- Gary's Student "Becks" wrote: Is it possible to use a formula to return a value of True if a cell you refer to is coloured or not?

How do I enter the UDF? I've never used them before.

Coloured Cells
I have entered the UDF, and it works initially. But if the colour is cleared
or added later the formula doesn't update? "Becks" wrote: How do I enter the UDF? I've never used them before.
