Count if within conditional formatted cells
 

How do I countif where cells are conditionally formatted to either "yes"
(formatted to change fill to yellow) or "No'(formatted to change fill to
orange"

The end result is for the # of yes and the # of nos.

Thank you.

Hi kmaki,

There is no worksheet function to count cells based on their colour. You'll need to build your formula using the same logic that you
used to determine what colour the cells should be.

Thanks for reply. The formula I tried is
=countif(b8:b12,"X")+countif(b17:b21,"X") or
countif(b8:b12,"No")+countif(b17:b21."No")

=COUNTIF(Range,"yes")

=COUNTIF(Range,"no")

To count manually-colored cells requires VBA and to count cells colored by CF
requires much more VBA.

Thank you Gord. One more question, this sheet that I am using, has data in 5
consecutive rows, and skips 4 rows in between, will the same
countif(b8:b12,B17:b21,"yes") +countif(b8:b12,B17:b21,"no") produce a correct
sum?

Hi kmaki,

You could use an array formula like:
=SUM(IF((B8:B12="X")+(B17:B21="X"),1))
With array formulae, you complete their entry with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, rather than just Enter.

no, that's not even a valid formula, you need to use something like
countif(b8:b12,"yes") +countif(B17:b21,"yes")+countif(b8:b12,"no")
+countif(B17:b21,"no")

Thanks Adam, I was trying to get to the final number sooner than to have to
type the formulas as you mentioned.

I use a spreadsheet to record answers to a test. Each cell the answer is
recorded in looks to another cell with the correct answer. All wrong answers
cond. format to red background. Is there no easy way to have Excel count how
many cells are being conditionally formated to give me their score? I tried
http://www.xldynamic.com/source/xld.....html#counting but my cell
value always returns #name? I'm using Excel 2007.

Instead of counting color formatted cells count the cells based on:

Each cell the answer is recorded in looks to
another cell with the correct answer.

If A1:A10 are the answer cells and the answer key (the correct answers) is
in the range AA1:AA10 -

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A10<AA1:AA10)

That worked perfectly with a simple mod changing < to =

BTW I've seen these formulas before with the (--( What does the outer
parenthesis and dashes do for the formula?
