HI, I want to be able to return a value to a cell if any of the cells in the same row have red font. For example as columns B and D have red font I would like to have D2 and D4 return the text "Update" and any other cells in D where there is no red font either stay blank or return text "No changes"

Hi there;

Create the UDF:

VBA Code:
Public Function CountCellsWithRedFontColor(Range1 As Range) As Integer
Application.Volatile
Dim myRng As Range
For Each myRng In Range1
    If myRng.Font.Color = vbRed Then
        CountCellsWithRedFontColor = CountCellsWithRedFontColor + 1: Exit Function
    End If
Next
End Function

Then in D2:
Excel Formula:
=IF(CountCellsWithRedFontColor(A2:C2),"Update","No changes")
and copy down.

Try this:
VBA Code:
Sub Check_For_Red_Font()
'Modified  10/17/2022  11:06:55 PM  EDT
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim i As Long
Dim Lastrow As Long
Lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row

    For i = 2 To Lastrow
        If Cells(i, 2).Font.Color = vbRed Or Cells(i, 3).Font.Color = vbRed Then
            Cells(i, 4).Value = "Update"
        Else
            Cells(i, 4).Value = "No Changes"
        End If
    Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
