hello

I'm trying to add cells in a row which have been previously formatted by colour when they contain a tick mark.

I can add the cells by colour when they have not been formatted but I have cells which need to contain a check mark with no highlight and cells which contain a check mark with highlight. I need to count both seperatly. c
I have been able to count cells containing only a tick but am struggling to count cells with a tick which have been then formatted to change colour. My cells which need to be counted will not necessarily be next to each other. There will be blank cells and cells containing other date in between.

many thanks

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
for j=1 to 10
for k=1 to 10
if cells(j,k)="tickcharacter" then ticktot=ticktot+1
next k
next j
cells(1,15)=ticktot
end sub

I do not know which font set you get the tick from

now colours

will counting all cells that have any color be ok
likewise tick cells that are non blank

Hello

I used the windings font to enter my tick. When i have entered this the conditional format turns the cell light grey. It is these cells in a row i need to count.

hi - as i mentioned in my previous message there are two columns i need to count 1) tick only 2)formatted cell also with a tick .
not to worry Ive sorted it myself by changing the symbol slightly in the second column. My sheet now works and it will allow me time to learn more about vba for next time.
