I would like to create an IF statement that uses a conditionally formatted cell as the logical test
for example:

=If(A1has conditional formatting,1,0)

Is this possible?

"No" is almost as helpful as "yes and here is how" for me.

Thanks in advance.
 

Excel Facts

Difference between two dates
Secret function! Use =DATEDIF(A2,B2,"Y")&" years"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"YM")&" months"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"MD")&" days"
Is "I don't believe so" helpful?

I do know that you can press f5, click Special, select Conditional Formats, click OK; the cells containing CF will be selected.

In the explanation it is stated the "cells" containing CF will be selected. But when I try the "column" is selected. any Idea how I can get to the selection of just the cells containing CF?

The column is selected because CF has been applied to the entire column, I suspect.
