Remarks

To return the ColorScaleCriteria collection, use the property of the object.

Example

The following code example creates a range of numbers and then applies a two-color scale conditional formatting rule to that range. The color for the minimum threshold is then assigned to red and the maximum threshold to blue by indexing into the ColorScaleCriteria collection to set individual criteria.

Visual Basic for Applications 
Sub CreateColorScaleCF() Dim cfColorScale As ColorScale 'Fill cells with sample data from 1 to 10 With ActiveSheet .Range("C1") = 1 .Range("C2") = 2 .Range("C1:C2").AutoFill Destination:=Range("C1:C10") End With Range("C1:C10").Select 'Create a two-color ColorScale object for the created sample data range Set cfColorScale = Selection.FormatConditions.AddColorScale(ColorScaleType:=2) 'Set the minimum threshold to red and maximum threshold to blue cfColorScale.ColorScaleCriteria(1).FormatColor.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0) cfColorScale.ColorScaleCriteria(2).FormatColor.Color = RGB(0, 0, 255) End Sub
