    Conditional formatting based on conditional formatting of other cells?

    Hi. Basic question here. Is there any way to set up conditional formatting in a cell to be based on the conditional formatting of multiple other cells?
    I would like the cells in column A to turn orange, yellow, red or green based on the color of the cells on the same row in columns B-F, which are colored based on conditional formatting.
    If none of the cells in B-F are green, then it would turn the cell in A red.
    If one of the cells in B-F are green, then it would turn the cell in A orange.
    If two of the cells in B-F are green, then it would turn the cell in A Yellow.
    If three or more of the cells in B-F are green, then it would turn the cell in A green.

    Is this possible? Thanks!

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    Excel cannot "see" colors, so it cannot use colors for any formulas However, you obviously have rules for the 1st set of CF, Im sure we can wiggle them around a bit so that we can apply them for the 2nd set of CF?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
