Default calculate based on color


Every time ya'll have helped I was working on something for the
corporate office, now I've been transferred to the corporate office -
not sure if that's good or bad...



Routing and scheduling workbook with multiple tabs. We have three
colors of rows to signify the status (open, closed, issue)


I want to calculate the number of blue rows (issue) to the front
(summary) tab. Is that possible, like a COUNTIF formula?? I could
just add another regular formula and have numerical codes for the same
thing, but there is aready enough business going on in there.


If not possible, any ideas? The open/losed calculation is no big deal,
but there are about 30 different subsets under "issue" and don't really
want to do another giant validation...

in a similar vein is there a list somewhere of which numbers map to
which colours as far as excel is concerned.

i.e. if 3 = red background what is 1,2,4,etc...without me having to put
them all in obviously.

thanks in advance

=sumproduct(--(right(a1:a10,2)="AM"))

Adjust the ranges to match--but you can't use whole columns.

=sumproduct() likes to work with numbers. The -- stuff changes trues and falses
to 1's and 0's.

Bob Phillips explains =sumproduct() in much more detail he
http://www.xldynamic.com/source/xld.SUMPRODUCT.html

And J.E. McGimpsey has some notes at:
