Hi Everyone, im new to this so please bare with me.

i have a spreadsheet in excel 2007. It shows a students target grade in one column and their recent test mark in another column. Firstly i have applied conditional formatting to say whether or not the student has hit their target, below or above, using red, yellow and green colours. This all works fine.

Now i would like to add a formula that counts the number of cells that are red, yellow or green etc.......

Can anyone help.

A dummies guide would be fantastic!!!!!

Cheers
