linking cell colors
That's what I was asking, to "link" fill colors. How about a "color" function
or something like that, which will allow you to get the color of a particular cell? Thanks. "Max" wrote: "abielo" wrote: How can I link the color in one cell to the color in another cell?

Try Bob Phillips' page on "Processing Coloured Cells" at: http://www.xldynamic.com/source/xld.....html#counting Here's a sample file (~ "starter's kit") which contains an implementation of Bob Phillips' ColorIndex Function from his "Processing Coloured Cells" page (link above) and some examples on how to use the UDF in Excel (kit was given in response to a previous query) Link to the sample file (construct details inside): http://cjoint.com/?irheM1JmFp CountSumCellsByColor_Using_BobPhillips_ColorIndex_ UDF.xls An earlier link to the sample is still valid: http://www.savefile.com/files/3232462 but think my archives' host: savefile.com is down at the moment Note that as the UDF is non volatile, recalc has to be forced, even if calc mode is set to Automatic. Press F9 to force recalc. Read the section "Constraints" in Bob's page. The sample should help you get started .. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik ---
