Hi
good to hear that it works now for you
Was it the different function name for SUMPRODUCT in your localized
Excel version. If yes you may contact Norman Harker (search in this NG
for his name) as ask him for his function list (includes also
translations for English<-Swedish).
I assume you have a 'good home' so it should be no problem to get the
list from Norman :-)

Hi
you can't invoke this macro with the macro dialog. It is a user
defined function which can be used like a normal Excel formula (e.g.
I used it within the SUMPRODUCT function). So don't change it from
Function to Sub :-)
Have a look at the website I posted to get some basicc information
about this kind of functions.

So in your Excel version use the following function call within a
cell =(PRODUKTSUMMA(--(ColorIndex(B1:O1)=3))*15)/24

Hi Frank!

I´m really grateful!! I´m trying to learn as much as possible,
thats
why I have so many questions.

I´m using the swedish version of excel.
"Drive"? I mean run of course!!

When I try to run the macro it "pops up" a dialogbox that ask for
the name of the macro. I´ve tried to change from Function to
Sub(public) but then I get errors in the macro when I try to run
it.

I have discovered that I can format the cells as ##":"##.
That way I can write "2200" in the cell, and the result is 22:00.
Do
you think that is a better solution?

However, I ran into a problem with a special formula when doing so
and cant understand why.

=SUM.IF('v2'!$O$3:$O$152;$C6;'v2'!$S$3:$S$152)

Any ideas?

Hi
see below - so many questions :-)

Jonsson wrote:
Hi Frank!

First...
Is it impossible to have the time as "2200"? It would be easier
to
write than to write "22:00"......................?

You can write is this way but all calculation formulas would get
quite complex as you loose Excel's time support - don't do this.
Add the ':' Though it is possible to write a worksheet_change
macro
which will convert these entries to a time format i would stick to
the normal entry
(but if you're interested have a look at
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/DateTimeEntry.htm for such code)


Second.....
I assume I´m supposed to drive the code, but when I do, I get the
question "Makroname".

One question up-front: Do you use the English Excel version (your
word 'Makroname' suggests a non english version).
What do you mean with 'drive'?. Do the following:
- Open your workbook
- Hit ALT F11 to oben the VBA editor
- Create a new module (right click in the explorer tree and add a
new module)
- paste the code
- close the VBA editor.

Third.......
When I paste the formula in AA1 I get "Name?"

Should be solved by the above (for some more information how to
use
macros have a look at:
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm)


Fourth.......
How to change the code so that I get a separate value
if I make one cell in another color ?

In short terms this is what I want to do:

color1 from B1 to O1 is 16 cells, these cells are representing 15
minutes each, totally 4 hours.
That give me in B2"0800" and C2"1200"
B1 represent "0800" and O1 represent "1200".
so, depending of how many cells you colors you get a time value
at
lets say Z1.
Also, there is a need of if I color any of these cells in Color2
the total value of the cells Z1 should be decreased by that
number of cells.

To get the time value in Z1 try
=(SUMPRODUCT(--(ColorIndex(B1:O1)=3))*15)/24
this will work for the color 'red' (red = 3) - it sums all red
colored cells. For more information abour color values have a look
at http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/colors.htm

Hi
for the first question:
- format your cells with a time format (Format - Cells - Time)
They should look like '10:00 AM'

The second one: Yes it is possible but you'll need VBA. e.g.
- put the code found below in a module of your workbook
- if you want to color in the range A1:Z1 with a color (lets say
red) and count the number of colored cells use
=SUMPRODUCT(--(ColorIndex(A1:Z1)=3))

- to get a time value use the formula
=SUMPRODUCT(--(ColorIndex(A1:Z1)=3))/24
and format this target cell as time

Hi Frank
Thanks for your help!!
But I get the value -1499?! It´s probably because I have the
wrong format of the cell D1.
Can you please tell me what format it should be?

I suppose you don´t think my second whish was possible?

Hi all,

Is there a way to write 10 a´clock PM as 2200 in cell B1 and
7
a´clock AM as 0700 in cell C1, and get the correct value 9
hours in cell D1?

And/Or.....

color 9 cells, (just as the number of hours), and get the
time
value 2200 and 0700.

I hope there is........

Thanks for any help
