If xRg Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
xDic.Item("Title") = "Type|Typename|Range|StopIfTrue|Operator|Formula1|Formula2|Formula3"
If xSpArr.Count = 0 Then
xSpArr = Split("Cell Value|Expression|Color Scale|DataBar|Top 10|Icon Sets||Unique Values|Text|Blanks|Time Period|Above Average||No Blanks||Errors|No Errors|||||", "|")
xOperatorArr = Split("xlBetween|xlNotBetween|xlEqual|xlNotEqual|xlGreater|xlLess|xlGreaterEqual|xlLessEqual", "|")
End If
For Each xCell In xRg
Set xFormat = xCell.FormatConditions(1)
xFmAddress = xFormat.AppliesTo.Address
If Not xDic.Exists(xFmAddress) Then
xDic.Item(xFmAddress) = xFormat.Type & "|" & xSpArr(xFormat.Type - 1) & "|" & xFmAddress & "|" & xFormat.StopIfTrue
If Not IsEmpty(xFormat.Operator) Then
xDic.Item(xFmAddress) = xDic.Item(xFmAddress) & "|" & xOperatorArr(xFormat.Operator - 1)
End If
If Not IsEmpty(xFormat.Formula1) Then
xDic.Item(xFmAddress) = xDic.Item(xFmAddress) & "|'" & xFormat.Formula1
End If
End If
Next
