counting coloured fields

[Redsphynx]

Hi,

I need to keep a tally on how many fields are green in a given row. Is this
possbile? If so how?

 

[T. Valko]

Can you create a formula based on the logic of *why* the "fields" are green?

For example, they're green because they're less than 100 or they're green
because they're Monday dates.

No, the column doesn't go green until I tell it. It is for a register, and
once I have verified that the number (column) is associated with a person,
then I select entire column, and change it green. That tells me at a glance
what numbers I have verified, and what ones I haven't.

You'll need a VBA procedure. See this:

How do I use VBA? I have gone to that website and it is what I want to do,
but I have no clue where to start.

Here is another. See http://www.xldynamic.com/source/xld.ColourCounter.html
for a working solution

For starters, take away this wonderful sample from my archives:

(Full details inside, nicely packaged:
how to install Bob's udf, how to use it in excel, etc ..)

The link given above still works, just tested the download here
