It is worth to mention that the above code does not count the cells where colors are coming through conditional formatting. You can use DisplayFormat.Interior.Color to get the conditional formatting colors (DisplayFormat.Interior.Color works only on Excel 2010 or above) or read this post
Public Function CountColorCells(rng As Range) As Long
'Variable declaration
Dim lColorCounter As Long
Dim rngCell As Range
'loop throught each cell in the range
For Each rngCell In rng
'Checking Yellor color
If Cells(rngCell.Row, rngCell.Column).Interior.Color = RGB(255, 255, 0) Then
lColorCounter = lColorCounter + 1
End If
Next
'Return the value
CountColorCells = lColorCounter
End Function
To use this code in your Excel file, follow below steps:
Here I have counted the cells with yellow color. You can change RGB (#,#,#) code to count other colors. You can find RGB codes of any color using following steps
That’s all, in the ‘Color’ dialog box, you can view the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) codes of the color
