Count If on colours in a cell?

[Guest]

Hi
i have a spreadsheet that i use define what my collegues are doing e.g on
holiday,sick, BAU, or Projects amongst others and each one has a colour code.

at the end of the period i would like to count the number of cells that are
coloured red = sick, the number of cells that are blue =project etc etc.

Is there away i can do this the cells are just coloured and have no text or
numbers written in them.

Many thanks

Simon

I have a similar spreadsheet that i assign a letter to each activity
e.g. S for sick, L for Leave and so on. I realise i can only do this
for up to 3 conditions in any one cell but i then use a simple Countif
along the row looking for S, L and so on.

Sorry i can't answer the actual question but i thought this
might offer an alternative solution.
