For example, IF the cell $C$9 has a background color of RED then I want to
display 1 in this cell ($D$9). Once this is completed I am tallying up
everything in column D to find out how many times that happened.

(FTI - reason for this is that RED shows an absence and we need to calculate
how many absenses)
