Hi.
I need your help.
In the attachment there is a small spreadsheet.
I need two formulas/rules in Sheet1:
1) If in column F and G the value is #N/A the formula has to change it to 0.
2) In column H in each cell has to be the value only from colored font cell from columns A,B,C,D (same row).
The result should be:
Cell H2 5.00
Cell H3 7.00
Cell H4 10.00
Cell H5 7.00
Cell H6 5.00
Cell H7 5.00
Cell H8 6.00
....
Welcome to the forum.
Try this for your first issue:
=IFNA( your_formula , 0)
The other issue can't be resolved with a formula, sorry. Formulae cannot 'see' formatting.

You forgot to $ the references for the VLOOKUPS. They should be:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(E2,Sheet2!A:B,2,FALSE),0)
and
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(E2,Sheet2!C:D,2,FALSE),0)
It is possible... sort of... to select cells by font colour, but is requires VBA and is a bit messy. HOW are the font colours set? Is there a rule... or is it done manually with no pre-determined rules??

You can use these formulae for part 1 of your questions:
F2: =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(E2,Sheet2!$A$1:$B$102,2,FALSE),0)
G2: =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(E2,Sheet2!$C$1:$D$102,2,FALSE),0)
For part 2, you have used a background colour for columns A to D, with a varying foreground colour - I presume you mean "not a black foreground colour". I also presume that you set these different foreground colours manually, as there are no conditional formatting rules in evidence. Anyway, a formula cannot directly detect the foreground colour, as that is to do with formatting (it is not a "value" in Excel).
Is there any logical reason for the different foreground colours being set? If so, then conditional formatting could be used, and the same rule(s) could be used within a formula to return the appropriate result.
Hope this helps.

manually
Thank you
You didn't really answer the Q about the colour. Is the choice of cells to be coloured subject to a RULE that we can exploit... or is it a bit random?
thank you, that works
Sorry. It's random, I do it manually.
How to install your new code
Please Login or Register to view this content.
Copy the Excel VBA code
Select the workbook in which you want to store the Excel VBA code
Press Alt+F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor
Choose Insert > Module
Edit > Paste the macro into the module that appeared
Close the VBEditor
Save your workbook (Excel 2007+ select a macro-enabled file format, like *.xlsm)
Then use:
=SUM(IF(GetCellFontColor(A2:D2)<>0,A2:D2,""))
copied down.
You seem to be using an older version of Excel than me. So, please refer to the attached file. If the formulae are enclosed within a pair of { }, these are array formulae.
These are a little different from ordinary formulae in that they MUST be confirmed in the FIRST CELL ONLY by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. After that, the array can be dragged down as normal, to cover the desired range.
You will know the array is active when you see the curly brackets { } appear around the outside of your formula. If you do not use CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will (almost always) get an error message or an incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.
Don't type the curly brackets yourself - it won't work...
thank you Pete. You are right with "not a black foreground colour" and with "that I set these different foreground colours manually".
Each background colour is a vendor.
Each foreground colour is a price of in-stock product. Red - price is too high, Green - price is ok.
Each foreground black colour is a price of out of stock product.
So I need formula to pick the colored price from the row and from 4 columns.
Thank you Glenn. It works!!! Thank you so much.
Best regards,
Arthur
