Default How do I sum up values only in cells that are color filled?

Can anyone help me further with this issue? I want to add up cells dependent
on colour - but all of the information on the links looks very complicated
and I don't know how to implement the codes. Is there a really simple guide
to doing this? usually I will have a go at anything, but this stumps me.

Each cell that filled with "red" represents player A, "blue" player B, etc.
In each cell is also a score (some value). I want to total the scores for
player A (the values in all the red cells) and player B (the values in all
the "blue" cells), etc.


How does the cell get filled with a color?

If the color is there because of conditional formatting, then you will need to
use the same formula in your SUM(scores) formula.

Something like =SUMPRODUCT((Player="A")*Scores)
