Default Sum by fill color

I found a site that showed me a way to have excel sum cells that have only a
particular color. I inserted the following code into a module:

Function ColorFunction(rColor As Range, rRange As Range, Optional SUM As
Boolean)
Dim rCell As Range
Dim lCol As Long
Dim vResult
'Sums or counts cells based on a specified fill color.
lCol = rColor.Interior.ColorIndex
If SUM = True Then
For Each rCell In rRange
If rCell.Interior.ColorIndex = lCol Then
vResult = WorksheetFunction.SUM(rCell,vResult)
End If
Next rCell
Else
For Each rCell In rRange
If rCell.Interior.ColorIndex = lCol Then
vResult = 1 + vResult
End If
Next rCell
End If
ColorFunction = vResult
End Function

I used the following in the cell =ColorFunction(B2, B2:B30). The first time
I entered the function it worked fine. However, when I applied the color in
B2 to another cell in the range, Excel did not recalculate. If I double click
in the cell I entered the function and then hit enter it will recaluclate. Is
there a way to have excel automatically recalculate. I checked in Tools
Options to see if manual calculation was on but it was on automatic.

Thanks very much for your help.

Best regards,

Dee
