Function to return interior colour of a cell
Hi I am trying to write a function to return the interior colour of a cell
which I reference. I am having difficulty getting this to work. Basically I want to define a function like CKCellColour, use this in the excel worksheet as a formula like =CKCellColour(M38) Then have this function return the interior colour of cell M38 The function I have defined is as follows: Function CKCellColour(CellRef as Range) Range(CellRef).Select CKCellColour = Range(CellRef).Interior.ColorIndex End Function This function never seems to get the range ref. Can someone help me solve this problem. Thanks for your help in advance. |

Many thanks this does the job nicely.
One last small question, is there a way for to get the recalc function to rerun this function so that it picks up changes of interior cells given conditional formating?

Take a look at this link for more info on conditional formatted colors...

Conditional formats do not actually set the interior color of the cell. Application.volitile will ensure that the function is re-evelauted every time the spreadsheet is recalced.

That function will not recognize conditional formats. Conditional formats do
not actually set the interior color of the cell. Application.volitile will ensure that the function is re-evelauted every time the spreadsheet is recalced.

Great reference Bob. I had not seen that one. The author sound fimilair so I
guess I will trust the code. -- HTH...
