HI!

I am having a problem. I want to know whick color is a cell, but when a try
Cells.Interior.ColorIndex it returns the color of the cell without the
"Conditional Formating". I mean, the cell color is yellow, but with the
"Conditional Formating" it becomes gray, but that command returns yellow, not
gray as I wanted.

Please, help me!
Thanks!

With CF the usual technique is to test whether a cell meets the CF
condition(s) and then work from there.

You really don't want to be checking what color a cell is and then use that
to do something else. You should be using the same formula as the
Conditional Formatting.

You will find code for working with Conditional Formatting at
