I came across this post being unanswered. so here is a User Defined Function in VBA
to SUM
use this UDF
Function SumConditionColorCells(CellsRange As Range, ColorRng As Range) Dim Bambo As Boolean Dim dbw As String Dim CFCELL As Range Dim CF1 As Single Dim CF2 As Double Dim CF3 As Long Bambo = False For CF1 = 1 To CellsRange.FormatConditions.Count If CellsRange.FormatConditions(CF1).Interior.ColorIndex = ColorRng.Interior.ColorIndex Then Bambo = True Exit For End If Next CF1 CF2 = 0 CF3 = 0 If Bambo = True Then For Each CFCELL In CellsRange dbw = CFCELL.FormatConditions(CF1).Formula1 dbw = Application.ConvertFormula(dbw, xlA1, xlR1C1) dbw = Application.ConvertFormula(dbw, xlR1C1, xlA1, , ActiveCell.Resize(CellsRange.Rows.Count, CellsRange.Columns.Count).Cells(CF3 + 1)) If Evaluate(dbw) = True Then CF2 = CF2 + CFCELL.Value CF3 = CF3 + 1 Next CFCELL Else SumConditionColorCells = "NO-COLOR" Exit Function End If SumConditionColorCells = CF2 End Function
if you want to Count instead of SUM then use the below UDF
Function COUNTConditionColorCells(CellsRange As Range, ColorRng As Range) Dim Bambo As Boolean Dim dbw As String Dim CFCELL As Range Dim CF1 As Single Dim CF2 As Double Dim CF3 As Long Bambo = False For CF1 = 1 To CellsRange.FormatConditions.Count If CellsRange.FormatConditions(CF1).Interior.ColorIndex = ColorRng.Interior.ColorIndex Then Bambo = True Exit For End If Next CF1 CF2 = 0 CF3 = 0 If Bambo = True Then For Each CFCELL In CellsRange dbw = CFCELL.FormatConditions(CF1).Formula1 dbw = Application.ConvertFormula(dbw, xlA1, xlR1C1) dbw = Application.ConvertFormula(dbw, xlR1C1, xlA1, , ActiveCell.Resize(CellsRange.Rows.Count, CellsRange.Columns.Count).Cells(CF3 + 1)) If Evaluate(dbw) = True Then CF2 = CF2 + 1 CF3 = CF3 + 1 Next CFCELL Else COUNTConditionColorCells = "NO-COLOR" Exit Function End If COUNTConditionColorCells = CF2 End Function
these solutions were provided to the similar question asked by other Excel users and worked for them.

Hey Jamil, this is everything I wanted to do!
I will have some studying to do as I do not understand the formula at all, but google will be my friend there. 😄
Thank you so much, both for your speed and availability.
Have a good one!

Hi Jamil,
I need your assistance with this workbook. I have applied the VBA code and followed the steps to the best of my ability. I still get a result of #NAME? in the total.
Can you take a look at this file and let me know where I went wrong? Thank you!
