I would like to obtain the cell background color assigned using a conditional formatting rule in Excel in my VBA script. I realized that using Range.Interior.Color property doesn't have the color resulting of an applied conditional formatting feature from Excel.
I did some research and I found this long way here, it compiles and runs but I don't get the assigned color [I get always (255,255,255)]
I am using Excel 2016 and I am wondering if there is a simpler way to obtain this information using some built-in VBA function or using any other excel trick.
If you want to know the color of a cell that has been colored by a conditional formatting rule (CFR) then use Range.DisplayFormat.Interior.Color¹.
If you want to definitively know what color a cell may or may not have been colored by a CFR you need to iterate through the CFRs that could be affecting that cell and look at each of the Range.FormatConditions(*x*).Interior.Color.
