You won't want to refer to the activecell in your code that goes through a range
without selecting...

Function CountByColor(InRange As Range, WhatColorIndex As Integer, _
Optional OfText As Boolean = False) As Long
Dim Rng As Range
Application.Volatile True

For Each Rng In InRange.Cells
If IsError(Rng.Value) Then
'skip it
ElseIf IsDate(Rng) Then
If OfText = True Then
CountByColor = CountByColor - _
(Rng.Font.ColorIndex = WhatColorIndex)
Else
CountByColor = CountByColor - _
(Rng.Interior.ColorIndex = WhatColorIndex)
End If
End If
Next Rng

End Function
