Counting Cells by Color with conditional formatting
Each row represents a location. Each column is a metric that we track for each location. The metrics and goals are the same for each location. Each cell changes color based on conditional formatting....

Here is the VBA code I came up with:
Function CountColor(rng As Range, colorcell As Range) As Long Dim cell As Range Dim clr As Long clr = colorcell.Interior.Color For Each cell In rng If Evaluate("GetColor(" & cell.Address(External:=True) & ")") = clr Then CountColor = CountColor + 1 End If Next cell End Function Function GetColor(cell As Range) As Long GetColor = cell.DisplayFormat.Interior.Color End Function
The formula in B20 is
=IF($A20="", "", CountColor($B8:$P8, B$19))
This can be filled to the right to D20, ten down to row 25.
I have attached the workbook to a PM to you. You'll have to allow macros when you open it.

HansVogelaar I am impressed with your skills. I'm in a pickle at work. I am a quality manager and I have a data file where I am trying to count the color of cells in each column. They are colored by conditional formatting.

will not work with conditional format works only with manual formatting
