Can I create an if statement that looks for a specific cell color?
This formula worked:
=IF('[ANCILLARY 2007.xls]0211-0224'!$E$4="9a-5p","ON","OFF") I realized after I began nesting true statements that if it's possible it'd be alot easier if I could reference the cell's color. something like: =IF('[ANCILLARY 2007.xls]0211-0224'!$E$4="cellred","SICK",IF('[ANCILLARY 2007.xls]0211-0224'!$E$4="cellyellow","ON","OFF") Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am using Office 2003 Pro. |

Look at the help on the cell function. Insert the function. there is a help
option before tthe function is added (bottom left corner of pop up window).
