Excel 2003 had a function to "SumByColor" -- it's not in 2007?

[Becky]

Excel 2003 had a function to "SumByColor", I don't see that function in
Office 2007. Does anyone know a replacement, or how to do the same type of
thing?

That is not a standard function in Excel 2003, so you must have
downloaded some addin or code like this from Chip Pearson's site:

Just download it again.

Hope this helps.

Excel 2003 did not have any built-in functions to do this. You may have had
a user defined function or an add-in with a function that did this.

See this:

Make sure you read the section titled: Color Change And Calculation

There is no built-in excel function to do this. But you can use a UDF that
looks at the range and returns the sum of color. But that function will not
recalculate if you change color. Every time you change the color you will
need to recalculate or wait excel to recalculate...

To install the UDF (User Defined function). From workbook launch VBE using
Alt+F11. From menu Insert a Module and paste the below function.Close and get
back to workbook and try the below formula.

A1:A10 is the range to be checked. B1 is a lookup cell coloured ..
=colorsum(A1:A10,B1)
=colorcount(A1:A10,B1)

'function to sum values within colorred cells
Function ColorSum(varRange As Range, varColor As Range) As Variant
Dim varTemp As Variant, cell As Range
ColorSum = 0
For Each cell In varRange
If cell.Interior.ColorIndex = varColor.Interior.ColorIndex Then
If IsNumeric(cell.Value) Then ColorSum = ColorSum + cell.Value
End If
Next
End Function

'Function to count the colored cells (not colored through Conditional
formatting)
Function ColorCount(varRange As Range, varColor As Range) As Variant
Dim varTemp As Variant, cell As Range
ColorCount = 0
For Each cell In varRange
If cell.Interior.ColorIndex = varColor.Interior.ColorIndex Then
ColorCount = ColorCount + 1
End If
Next
End Function
