Using ColorFunction with an added variable

To count cells of a given color, I'm presently using this formula, =ColorFunction($L$2,Desktops!$D$3:$D$77).

I need to segregate the counts based on another column as well. For instance, "Count all the cells on the Desktop worksheet/Column D with the color found in L2, if the value in Column B of the same row is 4X."

How to do it?

i did not use countif . I have given a macro see whether it helps.
see comment in the code.

the macro is
Code:
Sub colorfind()
Dim clr
Dim c  As Range
Dim y As Long
 clr = Range("L2").Font.ColorIndex
y = 0
Set rng = Range(Range("d1"), Range("d1").End(xlDown))
'modify the above line to suit you
For Each c In rng
If c.Font.ColorIndex = clr Then
If c.Offset(0, -2) = "4x" Then
y = y + 1
End If
End If
Next
MsgBox y
End Sub

I am not sure which ColorFunction you are using as there are a handful of them out there. I just stole the one from Ozgrid and edited it...

OK. That almost works.

=colorfunction(L2,D:D,-2,"4X")

What does the -2 do in your formula?

Is there a purpose in hiding Column F?

It appears your formula sums the contents of D:D. I need it to count the cells of D:D.
