Hi

I'd like to create a function which returns the number 1 if the TEXT of a cell in the preceding column is red.

Is it possible to do this with VBA?

I was thinking of writing something along these lines, but would appreciate any pointers!

Thanks in advance.

HTML:
Function FontDetect()

          if activecell.font.color  = vbRed then 

          activecell.offset(0,1).value = 1

          else 

          end if
 
End Function

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
Maybe something like this

Code:
Sub Main()
    Dim myRange As Range
    
    Set myRange = Range("A2:A10")
    FontDetect myRange
End Sub

Sub FontDetect(r As Range)
    Dim rCell As Range

    For Each rCell In r
        If rCell.Font.Color = vbRed Then rCell.Offset(0, 1) = 1
    Next rCell
End Sub
