Ignoring highlighted cells
If I have a column of numbers and some of the cells are highlighted (show in bold) eg. A 1 7 2 *5* 3 6 4 8 5 10 6 *15* Sub Total 1 Sub Total 2 How can I get sub total 1 to add up all the non highlighted numbers in the column and sub total 2 to add up all the highlighted numbers? The numbers dont necessarily have to be highlighted, they could be in bold or a different colour. Also bear in mind that it doesnt have to be cell A6 or A2 that is highlighted it can be any particular cell in the column. I know I can make sub total 1 = A1+A3+A4+A5 and sub total 2 = A2+A6 but when I've got a lot of data I dont really want to have to keep typing in the functions manually depending on where the highlighted cells are. Hope this all makes sense and thanks for any help -- frustrated ------------------------------------------------------------------------ frustrated's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=27778 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=493442 |

Ignoring highlighted cells
Thanks for this info. But I cant get it to work.

Ignoring highlighted cells
No, you don't need to change the --, that is meant to be there as is.
But ... your data in A1:An looks like text to me, so you cannot sum that. And also colorindex = 3 is red, your cells are not that colour to me, they look like green and two shades of orange it doesn't work on conditionally formatted cells. -- HTH Bob Phillips (remove nothere from email address if mailing direct) "frustrated" wrote in message ...

Ignoring highlighted cells
Is there is any rhyme or reason behind which cells are highlighted & which
aren't? Conditional Formatting, for instance. If so, use the SUMIF() function and incorporate the same condition you used in the Conditional Formatting If it's something else, see Chip Pearson's site: http://www.cpearson.com/excel/SortByColor.htm "frustrated" wrote: If I have a column of numbers and some of the cells are highlighted (show in bold) eg.

Ignoring highlighted cells
If you need 2 or more criteria in your sum, use a formula like
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A100="debit"),--(B1:B100<=DATE(2005,5,31)),C1:C100) which adds all the values in column C that are labeled in cal A as debits and dated in col B as May 31 or earlier "Louise" wrote: Further to my previous post, I've just worked it out: =SUMIF(A7:A20,"100",A7:A20) This would only add those figures which are greater than 100. That's great. Thank you. "Duke Carey" wrote: Is there is any rhyme or reason behind which cells are highlighted & which aren't? Conditional Formatting, for instance.

Ignoring highlighted cells
If the cells were formatted due to applying Conditional Formatting, eg.
anything greater than 100 to be formatted in bold, how would you create the SUMIF function to incorporate that? I have never used that before but it would be useful for me to know. Thank you.

Ignoring highlighted cells
Umm I'm confused. There is a reason that a particular cell is highlighted. Highlighted cells represent a day that an order is cancelled. I dont want to do anything to the date column. What I want is this: Have a cell that ignores all of column A's highlighed values (in bright orange) and adds up the rest A second cell that ignores all *non highlighted* values and only adds up highlighted values. Take a look at the following picture to see what I mean Thanks +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: sample 2.JPG | |Download: http://www.excelforum.com/attachment.php?postid=4126 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- frustrated ------------------------------------------------------------------------ frustrated's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=27778 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=493442 |

Ignoring highlighted cells
Did you go to Chip's site and copy the cellcolorindex Function and paste it to
a general module in your workbook? If so, you must use it to find the index numbers of the colored cells. Then you can SUM up on those index numbers. In B1 enter =CellColorIndex(A1) Drag/copy that down as far as you need. Non-colored cells will return -4142 Colored cells will return another number. Now in C1 enter =SUMIF(B1:B100,-4142,A1:A100) Same in D1 for any other number. Note: if the cells were colored due to Conditional Formatting, none of the above will work.

Ignoring highlighted cells
Ok I have managed to find the index numbers of the coloured cells. They are as follows: Orange 40 Light Yellow 19 Purple 24 Light Blue 20 Grey 15 Bright Yellow 44 Now I'm having trouble actually applying the sum function. I get stuck from this point onwards: In B1 enter =CellColorIndex(A1) Why am I doing this and what does this mean?? Also what is conditonal formatting and how do I know if I have applied this? Sorry for not getting it - I'm quite slow when it comes to programming Thanks for the help -- frustrated ------------------------------------------------------------------------ frustrated's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=27778 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=493442 |

Ignoring highlighted cells
I have made a sample worksheet so that you can see the end result i'm hoping for. The bright yellow line (colour index 44) is the "highlighted line" I keep referring to and it represents days that an order was sent elsewhere.
