Hi all.

1) how to get the color number of a cell?
2) if A1.color=yellow
B1='AMARILLO' or B1='*'

Thanks

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
Not likely without macro/function And even then you would get rgb or hex number for the color and would have to look up in a color wheel.

If the cell gets colored by the user, there's no way to do it with formula; it would require VBA.

And if you did use VBA, changing the cell color wouldn't cause the result to recalculate; Excel doesn't consider color as data.

Excel Filter by color.
Excel Formating using colors... and other interesting operations..
