Testing Blank Conditional Formatting
 

I'm having a problem testing for a blank cell with conditional formatting.

I'm looping through a range of cells and when I get to a cell that I know
should evaluate to TRUE for having met the conditional format it is returning
false. The conditional format is when cell value is equal to blank (="")
then format cell with fill color.

cfStatus = testRange.Value = testRange.FormatConditions.Formula1

where testRange.value is blank and testRange.formatcondition.formula1 = "="""

I've reversed the conditions where the letter 'x' will meet the format
conditions. In both cases the conditional formatting does what I want but
when testing I keep getting FALSE as having met the condition. In the case
of 'x' the testrange.value is "x" and the testrange.formatcond...formula1
shows "="x""

Am I missing something?

Testing Blank Conditional Formatting
 

Maybe...
cfstatus = ActiveSheet.Evaluate(Range("testrange").FormatCond itions(1).Formula1)
