Is there a method that I can sum all cells of a certain cell colour? Eg. sum
of all cells colured red? TIA

There is an example of using SUMPRODUCT and UDFs to count coloured cells at
http://www.xldynamic.com/source/xld.ColourCounter.html

The biggest problem is that changing a colour does not generate a worksheet
recalculation. One way around this is to use a button to set the colour, and
in the code associated with the button, do a sheet calculate
(Activesheet.Calculate). You would also need to add Application.Volatile to
the UDF.
