I belive that is

if range("A12").hasformula then

but that would be true for

=pi()*2000

which doesn't refer to a another cell (but maybe he didn't mean to exclude
those).

Hi!

I'm writing a macro to examine all cells in a worksheet.
If a cell contains a "pure formula" referencing other
cells, then I want to change the color of the cell that
contains a formula.

In a macro, is there any way I can tell whether a cell
contains a formula rather than pure values (number,
literal, etc.)?

By "pure formula", I mean a formula that contain a cell
reference. In other words, "=b5+k2" will be considered a
formula but "=5+28/4" will not for my purposes.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Seihee
