Is there anyway to do this? I have a sheet with times along the top and tasks
allocated underneath. I would like to be able to sort by the cell colour so I
can see who is on which task at any given time.

I have no idea how to do this, so any help at all would be appreciated.

hi Shakey,

here is a link to Chip Person page with a module to sum based on the color,
maybe it can help you.

Having tried a slightly more basic version, it doesn't even return the colour
index for

=colourindex(a1)

returns a #NAME? error...

any thoughts?

i am using the formula in the link you posted bob, and still struggling. I am
using the below and it is not returning the correct result...

=SUMPRODUCT(--(ColorIndex(A1:A100)=3),A1:A100)

colourindex() will be a UDF (User Defined Function). This error shows Excel
is not recognising the UDF name, so you either have it in the wrong place or
you don't have it

That formula is for counting the coloured cells, you seem to have got the
wrong part of the article.
