Hello All!

I am quite stuck and I am sure you lovely lot will be able to solve my mystery!

So my aim is to find out which cells with a criteria of "Name" & "Date" are red. When a person is late, the cell which is a time, is colored Red.

I have names in cells A, and the date in the header going from C5:YC5. Each person has their own row and times in the cells, when they are late, I colour the cell red. is there any way to count the number of red cells per name for each month, Jan, Feb etc?

I hope you can help me :)

Thank you.

Is there any way I can combine CountCellsByColour and a IF statement?


Try this:

Code:
Function [COLOR=#0000ff]CountCellsByColor[/COLOR](rData As Range, cellRefColor As Range) As Long
    Dim indRefColor As Long
    Dim cellCurrent As Range
    Dim cntRes As Long
 
    Application.Volatile
    cntRes = 0
    indRefColor = cellRefColor.Cells(1, 1).Interior.Color
    For Each cellCurrent In rData
        If indRefColor = cellCurrent.Interior.Color [COLOR=#0000ff]Or _[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]           indRefColor = cellCurrent.DisplayFormat.Interior.Color [/COLOR]Then
            cntRes = cntRes + 1
        End If
    Next cellCurrent
 
    CountCellsByColor = cntRes
End Function

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.

Hello,

Regarding the modified UDF in message #10 ...

forgot to mention two aspects:

1. All your Dates are supposed to be located in Row 1 ...
and the reference Month for which you need the calculation can be located anywhere

2. UDF will be working fine whenever Interior Color is changed manually ...

BUT it will not be working if the color change is produced by conditional formatting ...

Hope this clarifies

@DanteAmor
Unfortunately you cannot use DisplayFormat in a UDF

Yea & it's a right pain in the whatsits :mad:

@LaurenHancy
How many Conditional formats do you have?
If it's only one or two, what are the formulae?
