Hi,

have a look here but to quote the author, 'It's surprisingly difficult'

I have a macro I got from someone that counts colored cells.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work with conditional formatting. Does
anyone know how to solve this so that I can run a macro that would
include conditional formatting? I am trying to determine the number
of cells in a row where the conditional formatting formula equals
true.

'---------------------------------------------------------------------
Function ColorIndex(rng As Integer, _
Optional text As Boolean = True)
'---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dim cell As Range, row As Range
Dim i As Long, j As Long
Dim iWhite As Long, iBlack As Long
Dim aryColours As Variant

If rng.Areas.Count 1 Then
ColorIndex = CVErr(xlErrValue)
Exit Function
End If

iWhite = WhiteColorindex(rng.Worksheet.Parent)
iBlack = BlackColorindex(rng.Worksheet.Parent)

If rng.Cells.Count = 1 Then
If text Then
aryColours = DecodeColorIndex(rng, True, iBlack)
Else
aryColours = DecodeColorIndex(rng, False, iWhite)
End If

Else
aryColours = rng.Value
i = 0

For Each row In rng.Rows
i = i + 1
j = 0

For Each cell In row.Cells
j = j + 1

If text Then
aryColours(i, j) = _
DecodeColorIndex(cell, True, iBlack)
Else
aryColours(i, j) = _
DecodeColorIndex(cell, False, iWhite)
End If

Next cell

Next row

End If

ColorIndex = aryColours

End Function

'---------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Function WhiteColorindex(oWB As Workbook)
'---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dim iPalette As Long
WhiteColorindex = 0
For iPalette = 1 To 56
If oWB.Colors(iPalette) = &HFFFFFF Then
WhiteColorindex = iPalette
Exit Function
End If
Next iPalette
End Function

'---------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Function BlackColorindex(oWB As Workbook)
'---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dim iPalette As Long
BlackColorindex = 0
For iPalette = 1 To 56
If oWB.Colors(iPalette) = &H0 Then
BlackColorindex = iPalette
Exit Function
End If
Next iPalette
End Function

'---------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Function DecodeColorIndex(rng As Range, _
text As Boolean, _
idx As Long)
'---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dim iColor As Long
If text Then
iColor = rng.Font.ColorIndex
Else
iColor = rng.Interior.ColorIndex
End If
If iColor < 0 Then
iColor = idx
End If
DecodeColorIndex = iColor
End Function

Any help would be appreciated..
