    It appears there was a recent update to disable xlm macro functions. But, it also appears there is a trust center setting for it, unless your organization has restricted it.

    Alternatively, you might try a custom function, copy the code into a standard module in the vba editor. Then, use it like an excel function =GetColorIndex(A1) or just GetColorIndex() to return the value of the cell in which the function is entered.

     

    Public Function GetColorIndex(Optional rng As Range) As Variant
         Dim cell As Range
         
         
         On Error GoTo ErrHandler
              
         Application.Volatile True
         
         If rng Is Nothing Then
              If TypeName(Application.Caller) = "Range" Then
                   Set cell = Application.Caller
              Else
                   Err.Raise Number:=vbObjectError + 513
              End If
         Else
              Set cell = rng.Cells(1)
         End If
         
         GetColorIndex = cell.Interior.ColorIndex
         
         
    ExitProc:
         Exit Function
         
    ErrHandler:
         GetColorIndex = CVErr(xlErrValue)
         
    End Function
