I have a spreadsheet with 26 rows and 40 columns, some cells of which
have the background color of "tan". I need to count the colored cells
within each column. I've been going round and round with the vba
coding I found at http://www.xldynamic.com/source/xld.ColourCounter.html
- I copied the code into the vbs window, saved the module and returned
to the worksheet. In the last row of the first column, I pasted this
function: =SUMPRODUCT(--(ColorIndex(A1:A26)=3))

I know this must be very simple, but I cannot get the module to work.
One reason may be that the color is not 3 - but tan.

Any suggestions?
