Indeed it is beautifully rendered Max. If you intend to use this again, may
I suggest that you also show how you can dynamically pick up the test
colour, that is by using

=SUMPRODUCT(--(ColorIndex($B$2:$B$11)=ColorIndex(E2)))

as I think this is a useful but not obvious feature (I know it could be
derived from what you do, but ...).

And also summing the values in the coloured range

=SUMPRODUCT(--(ColorIndex($B$2:$B$11)=ColorIndex(E2)),$B$2:$B$11 )

Hanyana,

Post back if Max's workbook doesn't solve the problem for you. I have found
that most problems are caused by people thinking that the function is a
built-in, not one that you have to copy and input to the workbook. Of
course, that may not be your problem, but give us as much detail as you can
if and when posting back.
