I'm creating a shift schedule for 12 employees using an existing template
that has rows of different colors that indicate hours each person is in
the
office. The company needs a minimum number of employees working during
core
business hours. I don't want to manually add all the colored cells per
half
an hour per day to see if there are enough employees. Is there a formula
for
summing color filled cells?
