Is it possible to use SUMIF or similar to sum cells where the Fill Color is
Yellow for instance ??

IE something along the lines of =SUMIF(C3:C15),"FillColor=Yellow",C3:C15)
......

At present I'm getting along by adding a separate column which has an
asterisk in it and using that as the basis for the SUMIF, but I'd rather
just change the cell colour to select the amounts I'm interested in.

Thanks Dave H.

Thanks Bob,

Works like a charm - any idea on making it update dynamically on change of
cell colour ? As it stands I have to activate the cell with the formula and
click in the formula bar to make it update. Tried F9 but no luck.

Cheers Dave.

It cannot be fully dynamic Dave as the cell colour change does not trigger
the recalc.

You can make it respond to F9 by adding

Application.Volatile

at the start of the Colorindex function.
