I am wanting to add specifice colored cells only on my worksheet, the
colors
represent stages that different orders are in and would like to keep a
running dollar amount total in each stage - maybe a conditional format? I
don't know how to tell excel to add only a certain color of cell - is it
possible without buying an additional program?
