Stella -

You have to figure out what to put into the add-in to enumerate the conditional formatting. I have never tried this; perhaps you could Google ‘list conditional formatting in Excel’. Once you get that, use these pages to help develop it into an add-in.

I need to build an Excel Add-In component to get the list of all the conditional formatting in a workbook.
Can you help me?
Thanks!

You have to use

=SLOPE($B11:$B21,$A11:$A21)

with the cell addresses in the SLOPE function. Or you can use INDIRECT as follows. Suppose A1 contains “$A11:$A21″ and B1 contains “$B11:$B21″ (without quotes). This will give you the slope you want:

=SLOPE(INDIRECT(B1),INDIRECT(A1))

The ? indicates my ignorance to begin with. A simple question :
suppose I have a cell, say A33, with this text or whatever you call it in it:
$B11:$B21,$A11:$A21.
Legitimate x-y data are in these ranges. You cannot now type =slope(A33) in some other cell and get the slope. Why not? and how could you do it?
Many thanks. Maybe the answer is somewhere in your wonderful site.
