Count number of shaded cells
I have a number of colour cells in column A. For example: I may have two
yellow cells, 3 red cells and 4 blue cells. I would like a formula that can count the number of either the yellow, red or blue cells in a particular column. I would then like to expand this to counting the number of certain colour cell (example ... yellow cells) in a number of columns. i.e columns A to F. Thank you in advance. |
Hi
not possible with formulas alone. This requires VBA. See: http://www.xldynamic.com/source/xld.ColourCounter.html and http://www.cpearson.com/excel/colors.htm -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany "Maddoktor" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...
