Default Check if Conditional Format is True or False / Check cell Color

Hi TWIMC

I'm try to set an adjacent cell to show FAILED or PASSED next to a list of
cells when their respective conditional format is activated. I've tried
creating a UDF to look at the cell.interior.colorindex but even when the
conditional formatting is active the cell.interiocolor is equal to xlnone,
therefore is there a way to check if the conditional format condition has
been activated.

Perhaps the cell property FormatConditions may help

TIA

statement

Can't you just use the same criteria as the conditional formatting?

Why don't you just use the conditions in an if formula ?

I realised that to that I can just use the same formula as an IF statement in
the adjacent cell.

Thanks all.
