How To Count Colors with an Excel Function | Count Colored Cells

In this Excel video tutorial, I'll show you how to make an Excel function to count colors in Excel.

If you have a table, a spreadsheet, where you colored your cells, you can count the colors with this formula that I'm going to show you.

So, for example, in an accounts payable spreadsheet, you painted all overdue accounts yellow and now you need to know how many overdue accounts, yellow cells, you have in your table. With this color counting function in Excel, you will be able to do this math.

To create this function in Excel, we will use Excel's Visual Basic Application or VBA.

Function COUNT_COLOR(RANGE As Range, COLOR As Range)
Dim COLORC As Integer
Dim COUNTT As Integer
COLORC = COLOR.Interior.ColorIndex
Set IC = RANGE
For Each IC In RANGE
If IC.Interior.ColorIndex = COLORC Then
COUNTT = COUNTT + 1
End If
Next IC
COUNT_COLOR = COUNTT
End Function
