I am using conditional formatting to change the color of the a particular cell to red yellow and green when it meets the particular criteria accordingly.
I need to further work on and sum the result of all the color obtained to a particular color. To put it in simple say
a=1 , a=2, a=3
b=1, b=2, b=3
i have done a conditional formatting to above if a=1 then change cell color to red , if a=2 then yellow and finally to green.
same goes for b as well. know the result of a and b are in a two different cell. i want to merge the color result so obtain and result the same in a new cell.
Hi tassmazahir and welcome to the board.
You can't sum colors unless you are using macro.
But you can use the same criteria you used for conditional formatting, in a SUMPRODUCT formula to sum all different colors based on cell content.
Look at the example.
