    Return cell background color value

    In my worksheet, cells in column D are having different colors. In column G, I wish to return the color value corresponding to D column cells i.e. E15 will indicate D15 color value (or even color name will also do). Can someone help?

    Only VBA can do this, not a formula, do a Google or wait till someone comes along with the expertise.

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Are the cells in column D colored by hand, or by conditional formatting?
    If they're done by Conditional Formatting, you can use those same conditions in some sort of IF fomrula.

    Maybe you could attach a sample book?
