    Do you mean a cell like B3 is yellow then put ax x in A3?

    You will need VBA to check cell colours.

    What is condition that decides the cell colour? You could then use this check for filling A with "x"

    Hi and welcome to the forum.

    Not with a regular Excel function. (There might be an old Excel4 'GET' type "macro function" hanging around which I'll check later). But in the absence of a regular function then you can easily do it with VBA. e.g.

    Thanks for your assistance. I appreciate the Welcome!

    Unfortunately, I am a complete Divvy when it comes to VBA and how to add. I have the Developer Ribbon... next?

    In Richard's code, just change the "1 to 10" to "1 to 3000"
    Change A1 to whatever your first cell is.

    To insert the code, ALT + F11 to open VBA Editor
    Insert>Module
    Paste in the code. Close the editor
