Public Function SumByColor(rng As Range, Red As Long, Green As Long, Blue As Long) As Double
'Variable declaration
Dim dblSum As Double
Dim rngCell As Range
'Loop throught each cell in the range
For Each rngCell In rng
'Checking and sum color
If rngCell.Interior.Color = RGB(Red, Green, Blue) Then
If IsNumeric(rngCell.Value) = True Then
dblSum = dblSum + rngCell.Value
End If
End If
Next
'Return the value
SumByColor = dblSum
End Function
Public Function SumByColor(rng As Range, ColorCell As Range) As Double
'Variable declaration
Dim dblSum As Double
Dim rngCell As Range
'Loop throught each cell in the range
