Keeping it simple (but absorbing an additional column for the
assessment) you could define a simple function that analyses the
colorindex of the cells and returns a value that you could then use to
sort / group / conditional sum.
Something like that below placed in a
VB Module would return you the
fill colour of the cell
Function myColorIndex(userRange As Range)
myColorIndex = userRange.Interior.colorIndex
End Function
exchange "Interior" for "Font " to assess the text colour.
You could make your function complete the sum or count (or make it
switchable via an extra passed variable) using a "For ... Each" loop
in the function to compelte the addition task.
An extra question for anyone else is : can you use a user defined
function nested into a useful summation function (such as CountIf
/SumIf or a conditional sum) so that an extra column is not needed?
hope this is of some help.
