I have 10 columns with 2000 rows. some of the rows have either the cell highlighted, either the text highlighted.
i've used conditional formatting for highlighting.

I need to have an 11th column where i can see which one of the rows has at least one of the columns with a highlight of a cell or text.

This result can be displayed by binary number 1 and 0
If you know of a better or more at hand solution, looking forward to it.

Download example for excel 2007:
the demo is NOT using conditional formatting

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
I have excel 2010, but when you put a filter on the cells, you can Filter by text color, highlight, etc.

Its much much easier to test if the conditions that trigger the formattig are present than it its to test if the conditional formatting is present.

e.g. if a cell is Conditionaly Formatted to turn red when its value is 0, its easier to test if the cell contains 0 than it is to test if it is red.

It sounds like you have a variety of cells with a variety of CF's. Still, testing all those conditions (with OR or AND depending on your needs) is far easier than detecting the (conditionaly) format of the cells
