Hi guys. Quick question,

is there anyway to change a cell background color based on another cell background being a particular color?

I have a row with conditioning format that changes the background color based on a specific text.
I would like to add a cell at the end of each row that would change, say, green if all other cells background on that row were green.

Is this possible?
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
Welcome to the MrExcel board!

What about just putting the same Conditional Formatting in the extra cell at the end of the row that is in all the other cells in the row?

If that doesn't seem applicable, then please give more details about the number of cells in the row already and what each of their Conditional Format rules are.
The rule for the extra cell will need to look at the conditions of the other cells as it won't be able to just use the cell's colour.
