Count shaded cells

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.
Go through them one at a time and put an | down for every shade cell. Then every multiple of 5 put a bar across like this<strike>||||</strike>. This makes it easier to count the total. (Sorry it's lunchtime, I get sarky at lunchtime)

Seriously, how do you want to do this? Do you want to use VBA? I don't know how you'd do it otherwise.

Try this:

Sub yellow_count()
lastcell = Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Address
firstcell = "A1"
Range(firstcell & ":" & lastcell).Select
For Each cell In Selection
If cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 6 Then x = x + 1
Next
MsgBox x & " cells are yellow"
End Sub
