    Question formula based on cell background color

    Is it possible to have a formula based on the cell background color. For instance , can I enter something like =if(A1(background color=yellow), 1, "")

    I would like for it to return a 1 if the cell's background color is yellow and a null if not.

    Thanks in advance.
