Roger, this worked for me. Thanks for your help. It was Bob Philips site,
XLDynamic.com that has the colourindex function. I will read chip's
information more carefully.

Thanks again,

Davie

Hi

If you look at Chip's information, there is no function of the name you have
been using.
=countcolor($F$1:$F$14,3)
correctly returned a value of 5 for me

Roger, I downloaded the file from the link and extracted it. I have a
file
with a .bas extension and I cannot open it or import it into the VB
editor.
How do I set it up in the workbook?

Hi Davie

You also need Chip's Function, loaded in the workbook.
There is a downloadable example at Chip's site

Hi, I have tried to count the colours on a spreadsheet. I have
copied
Pearson Consulting functions for counting colorindex, which I have
managed
to
get working when at another company, but when I put the formula
=SUMPRODUCT(--(ColorIndex(A1:A100,TRUE)=3)) in I get the #NAME?
Error
message.

I have also tried the formula Ossie mac posted but I also get the
#NAME?
error. I am using 2003.

Am I missing something?
