COUNTIFS function

Copper Contributor

In the attached file, I need Count (in col. M) of all the cells in a row (range B2: L2) that are highlighted in pink, how do I do that using some excel function

File is attached here for reference

Excel does not make is easy for you to do math based on formatting. You'll have to duplicate the conditions in the conditional formatting rules into a formula to derive the count.

Can you show me the way to do this?

I happened to see your post and made a search on the topic remembering that I have seen (but not used) cell coloring logic somewhere before.

 

I found this. Maybe this gives you something to dwell upon:

Mind you I know nothing more of the subject or ablebits.

In your case that could be

=SUMPRODUCT(--($B2:$H2>{0.06,8,6,10,3,0.5,0.5}))+SUMPRODUCT(--($J2:$L2>{10,1,1}))+($I2<100000000000)

just use logic of your conditional formatting rules. Please see attached.
