Return a value based upon a cell colour
The ASAPCELLCOLORINDEX function returns the fill color index of a cell. You can use this in an IFS or SWITCH formula.
Have the cell colours been applied directly, or are they the result of conditional formatting?
Hi HansVogelaar , is there any functions work for the color define by conditional format? I want to return header for the cell first filled with red in a row, but solution I find only work for the color defined directly, not work for conditional format... thanks in advance...
The problem is that the actual formatting applied by conditional formatting is not available in a cell formula.
Instead of referring to the color, you'll have to use the conditions behind the conditional formatting rules. For example, if a cell is colored red if its value is greater than 100, your formula would have to search for values greater than 100.
- Thank you a lot, but the condition of the format is dynamic, which sums different range based on the cell index..😔
That will make it complicated. I cannot offer a suggestion without seeing (a copy of) the workbook...
