AutoCalculate on Custom Function

[Oscargriz]

I have downloaded a bit of code that would sum a range based on the background color. The "Sum" portion of the function works on change now that I added "Application.Volatile" to the top of the code, however if I change the color of a cell, it doesn't recalculate.

I considered doing a Change Event, however I'm not sure how I need to reference the background color as the item that is changing. Any help here would be appreciated.

Changing the background colour of a cell does not trigger any events you can trap, which is the main reason I always advise against this sort of setup. It's much better to have the contents of the cell (or another cell) as an indicator and use that to colour the cells. Your functions can then work directly off the cell contents.

Would it be possible then to loop the formula so that any time a new cell is made active, the formula recalculates?

You could make the SelectionChange event of the worksheet issue a Calculate command, if you really want to stick with this method.

That worked perfectly. Thanks
