Hello,

I need to verify if a cell has a specific RGB color, for example [204,255,204].

The tricky thing is that I am not allowed to use Macro, VB,...
Is there a way to verify it?

Theoretically i thought about some ideas:

  • verify the color against another cell (both have the same RGB value)
  • get the RGB value somehow
  • verify the rgb value against the cell somehow

Thanks in advance for any solution,
Roland
 

Excel Facts

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
Right-click the cell and choose "Format Cell".
On Format Cells dialog box choose "Fill" tab.
Under Background Color choose "More Colors"
Under Colors choose "Custom"
Under Color model choose RGB
Read the RGB integers

Thanks for the fast response Mr JoeMo,

is it possible to get this RGB integers into the excel sheet?
For example:

Column 1 - Column 2
Colored Cell - [247,150,70]
Colored Cell - [83,141,213]
Colored Cell - [118,147,60]

in fact I would need it visible within the worksheet.

Thanks,
Roland

Can be done with VBA (which you indicated you can't use) or manually using the procedure I posted. I know of no other way.
