Hi there,
I am using a macro to count colored cells. You can see the code below.
Then I use to count the cells with
=SUMPRODUCT(--(ColorIndex(Sheet1!F33:F285)=35))
where 35 is the colorindex (i got it with =colorindex(a1) )
now i need to and an if statement:)
something like,
scan the range of F33:F285, find the cells containing number 3,
check if these cells has colorindex 35.

with a noob approch it'd be like
=IF(COUNTIFS(Sheet1!B33:B285,3),SUMPRODUCT(--(ColorIndex(Sheet1!F33:F285)=35)))
I thing I cannot figure out if/then structure right:(

any ideas?

thanx in advance.


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

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)
