Hi
for the second part of your question (summing colored cells) you may
use the following:

-----
using a procedure from Bob Phillips and Harlan Grove you may try the
following:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(ColorIndex(A1:A100)=3))
to count all red cells (background color) within the range A1:A100

or
=SUMPRODUCT(--(ColorIndex(A1:A100,TRUE)=3))
to count all red cells (font color) within the range A1:A100

To get the colorindex of a specific cell use
=ColorIndex(A1)

Adapt this to your requirements

'Code to paste in one of your modules

'---------------------------------------------------------------------
Function ColorIndex(rng As Range, _
Optional text As Boolean = False) As Variant

' Function: Returns the colorindex of the supplied range

aryColours = DecodeColorIndex(rng, False, iWhite)

aryColours = rng.Value
i = 0

For Each row In rng.Rows
i = i + 1

Hi Hi,
To someone that can safe me.

I need to do up a formulated worksheet.
Lets say Cell A1(Red colour cell)
and Cell A2(Blue colour cell)
and Cell A3(Green colour cell)
and Cell A4,B4,C4,D4,E4,F4,G4(Yellow colour cell)
and Cell A5,B5,C5,D5,E5,F5,G5(Orange colour cell)
These cells above will be key in with numbers.(numbers that i need to
find)

Column A to J row 8 to 500, will have thousands over numbers keyed in
earlier.(numbers to be lookup)

Now i need help in this, If those numbers to be lookup matches with
those key in above, that cell should change colour accordingly. And
oso
able to give me an auto tabulate numbers of colour strike.
Lets say "1000Red,500Blue,450Green,890Yellow,300Orange)

Thank you for you help!
I really need this help.
Thank you a million, and may god bless this someone sweet and
helpful.
