I am working on a scheduling program. I want to use color in the cells
representing the hour and continue the color through the duration of the day
for example if an employee comes in at 9am and leaves at 5pm I wanted to
color the cells from 9-5. With that I wanted to count for a total the number
of cells colored so I may end up with a total hours used for the day with all
employees

This should help you.

Barb might have meant this site from Chip Pearson:

Look for the CountColor function.

If you're new to macros:

Debra Dalgleish has some notes how to implement macros he

David McRitchie has an intro to macros:

Ron de Bruin's intro to macros:

(General, Regular and Standard modules all describe the same thing.)

Could you please provide the link to the solution? It appears missing.
