Apologies if this has been raised before but can't find an answer on
Internet..
I need my Excel worksheet to count how many cells in a range contain a
specified text and fill colour.
Range A1:A1000 contains a single letter in each cell - either "M" or "F"
depending on gender and filled in either black or red..
To total the cells containing "M" I have the following array:
{=SUMPRODUCT(IF(A1:A1000="M",1,0))}. This works perfectly.
I found a macro on www.brainbell.com/tutorials that counts how many cells
are filled with a particular colour. Filling cell C1 in black or red as
the criteria I put the following formula in C2:
=ColorFunction(C1,A1:A1000,FALSE). This also works perfectly.
I then tried merging the two working solutions to calculate how many cells
in A1:a1000 are "M" AND filled in black as follows::
{=SUMPRODUCT(IF(A1:A1000="M",1,0),IF(ColorFunction(C1,A1:A1000,FALSE)))}
Needless to say it doesn't work. Any suggestions would be received
gratefully.
Kind regards
