    Conditional Formatting for Chart Series Based on Cell Colour

    Hi everyone,

    I am trying to conditionally format a chart's series based on the colour of the cell data (which has also been conditionally formatted). The link below is what I have used but it does not work when the data is conditionally formatted - it is as if the cell has not "actually" changed colour and it makes everything white (colourless).

    http://datapigtechnologies.com/blog/...e-cell-colors/

    Does anyone have any idea on how to get around this? Also how would I go about changing other parts of the format? i.e. dotted lines vs full lines.

    Many thanks,

    Ben

    Hi..

    As far as i know.. you can't get the ColorIndex value of a cell that has been colored via Conditional Formatting..

    This is about the best i could find on it..

    depending on your excel version, you can modify the code to use DisplayFormat to get fill colour resulting from CF
