Hi All,

I am wondering if there is formula whereby I can count cells based on their colour?
 

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.
Hi,

Right Click on your Sheet tab, View Code. This will open the VBA window for this sheet code.

Paste;

Code:
Sub Listcolors()

For Each C In Selection


    C.Offset(0, 1).Value = C.Interior.Color


Next C




End Sub

Highlight the the range of cells with the color, then run the macro. Avoid highlighting the whole column only the range you need.

The macro will populate the color number in the cells to the right, which you can use with countif & sumifs etc.
