Sum contents of comments based on back fill colour
I have looked at C Pearsons and others stuff on Sumproduct background fill
colour But what I would like to do is Sum numbers contained in comments, from cells with a certain background colour. Can it be done, if so how? |

Certainly it can be done, but you would need VBA code. The fill colour piece would be fairly simple and the comment piece ok, providing the numbers are on their own and not in random places around text. Below is an example UDF that takes the range to be checked and a range (cell) with an example of the background colour to test for. As I said this only works when the number is the ONLY thing in the comment (This includes the default user name that appears. obviously this could be coded out, but makes everything more complicated Function AddCommentsAndColours(rngToCheck As Range, chkColour As Range) As Double Dim mycell As Range Dim colourNo As Integer Dim dblFinal As Double Application.Volatile True colourNo = chkColour.Interior.ColorIndex For Each mycell In rngToCheck If mycell.Interior.ColorIndex = colourNo Then If Not mycell.Comment Is Nothing Then dblFinal = dblFinal + Val(mycell.Comment.Text) End If End If Next mycell AddCommentsAndColours = dblFinal End Function -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England DTHIS www.nickhodge.co.uk "Arran" wrote in message ...

Sum contents of comments based on back fill colour
Hello again Roger, Hi Nick
Roger, thanks for your suggestion. I have found a number of sites dealing with the Summing of cells based on colour. But I want to Sum the contents of the comments in these coloured cells. Nick, thanks for your reply particularly dealing with the comments part. I will digest it and endeavour to implement. Watch this space.

Sum contents of comments based on back fill colour
Hi Nick
Many thanks you for your reply. It would be great to say it all worked swimmingly but I have to admit VBA is competly alien to me, I have no experiance with it what so ever. I am goning to have to do some basic reading up on Macros, so which of the numerous Excel sites in your opinion would be the best one for a crash lesson on install macros. regards Arran "Nick Hodge" wrote: Arron Certainly it can be done, but you would need VBA code.

Hi Nick
Had that crash lesson in VBA, managed to get it up & running eventually. Picked up a lot of useful stuff along the way.
