Default In Excel, how do I count cells with a particular format (e.g. colo

I inherited a large spreadsheet with certain rows colored red. I want to be
able to count the red rows (or cells).
Is there some function that can test for a cell's formats? Or is there some
technique using macros?
Thanks in advance.

To count colored red cells.................

Select the sheet's used range.

EditFindFormatFormatPatterns

Pick the red color and OK

Find All

In the "found" dialog hit SHIFT + End

Right-click on the Statuys Bar and "count"
