Default if statement syntax help

Hi,

Counting cells coloured with a conditional format isn't easy but the subject
is covered in depth here.

http://www.xldynamic.com/source/xld.CFConditions.html

If that proves a bit overwhelming then you can count the conditions that set
the conditional format which has the same effect. For example

=SUMPRODUCT((G2:G235)*(I2:I2369%))

Would count that range where both conditions were met on each row.

Thanks so much. Now, can I count all the cells in column D that have the
conditional formatting of a yellow cell?

In the conditional formatting wizard, select Formula Is and enter:

=AND(G25,I269%)=TRUE

I have been reading a lot about conditional formatting. I have cells in D2
that I want highlighted in yellow if g25 and i269%. If g2 and i2 do not
both meet the criteria, I don't want anything to happen to d2. I'm assuming
I can use conditional formating for that, but how do I write it?
