Hello,
I need to sum cells based on color coding. I am unable to determine how to
do this in the conditional format.

Thanks for your help
Rose

You can't do this directly with a standard function. However, this site
shows how you can do so with User-defined functions:

http://www.cpearson.com/excel/colors.htm

About half-way down the page is a section on:

"Summing the value of cells based on a specific colour"

which is relevant to your request.

Hope this helps.

Dear Rose...Are u asking to know "HOw to" conditionally format a cell with
pre-selected colors? Or you want to sum cells per color coding thru
conditional formulation?.
