How to use conditional color formatting within another formula.

Hi All, 

My question is that i am trying to utilize conditional color formatting within a new formula.  So I have a column that has conditional formatting in red or green, with the text being a date. To make the next formula to see the percentage of green cells/(green+red cells) = should give me compliance.  Is there a way to do this or do I just need to utilize the original formula of how I achieved the conditional formatting?  

 

Thanks! Laura.

    Hi Laura,

     

    Formulas work with values only, you shall combine your formulas for green/red and apply the resulting formula to the new rule.
