I have a column of data (E5:E16) and different cells in that column have
a different background colour.

I would like to sum the data in the cells depending on the background
colour e.g

Cell E17 sums every cell with a red background in (E5:E16)
Cell E18 sums every cell with yellow background in (E5:E16)

How can I do this?

Thanks for any help
