Conditional Formatting on Color

E

Is there a way to conditionally format a cell to a color only if a referenced
cell is already conditionally formatted to a color. Ex; format cell A2 to red
if cell A1 is conditionally formatted to yellow?

You can check for the same logic applied to the other conditionally formatted
cell. Using your example, if A1 is conditionally formatted to yellow when
the cell value is > 1, then, you can conditionally format A2 to red with the
formula "=A1>1"

I think that is in the right directions. Can I format the cell for multiple
conditions. Ex: Format A1 to yellow if B1 is >1, then format A2 to red if B2
is >1 and B1 >1?

Yes, by using a formula like this for the A2 conditional format:

=AND(B1>1, B2>1)

Thank you for the help, I knew there was an easier way than trying to look at
the color properties of the cell.
