Default subtotal colored cells

yes, that is the formula, but this formula has to change each time the range
changes. if you use Subtotal function, you get the correct range, but it
subtotals everything in the range including colored cells that i don't want
in the subtotal.

I think your formula should be:

SumByColor(H19:H22,35,false)

The first parameter is the range you want to sum, and the second
parameter is the colour number.

Hope this helps.

i used the pearson macro to add specifically colored cells. however, i have
a large spreadsheet and must add multiple ranges so i have to go to each
range and adjust the range that i want to add. the subtotal function is
perfect for setting the range, but it adds everything in the range and i only
want to add cells with a certain fill color in that range. tried this
SumByColor(SubTotal(9,H19:H22),35,false)) but got a VALUE error. Any
suggestions?

Thanks
