Counting Colored Cells

[kevin0226]

How to count the number of highlighted (colored) cells in each row?
And bonus question: How to count the number of consecutive colored cells in a row (e.g. A8 and B8 would be 1, A8 and B8, and D8 and E8 would be 2)?

For question 1, you will need to use VBA if the cells are colored manually. If they are colored with Conditional Formatting, you can use the same conditions to count as you use to color.
For question 2, someone else will have to answer, as I am not well versed in consecutive sequences.
