Default How do I use a cell format to figure out a data?
You will have to use VBA to grab the colorindex of the cells.

Do you want to do that?

See Chip Pearson's site for UDF's for working with colorindex.

Hello:

I have a spreadsheet that has different color fills do denote something:

Blue: Planned
Orange: Unplanned
Grey: Suspended.

Can somebody tell me how I can infer the data based on the fill color?
