How to make SUM function if red marked text?

what does

red marked text

mean
is that if the font colour is RED
if so why is it red , is that because its a negative value , as in some financial formatting / number formatting

you can use a SUMIF - and only include numbers >0

=SUMIF( range , ">"&0 )

otherwise if just a red font manually entered , then i suspect you will need VBA - which i do not provide answers for

The forum does allow for spreadsheets to be uploaded direct to the forum -

Please see the Yellow Banner at the top of the page explaining how to attach a sample spreadsheet

A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. The sample layout accurately matches that of your real data. It also has expected results mocked up, worked examples where required, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.


Here are the instructions, found at the top of the page again

HOW TO ATTACH YOUR SAMPLE WORKBOOK:, Fast answers need clear examples. Post a small Excel sheet (not a picture) showing realistic & representative sample data WITHOUT confidential information (10-20 rows, not thousands...) and some manually calculated results. For a new thread (1st post), scroll to Manage Attachments, otherwise scroll down to GO ADVANCED, click, and then scroll down to MANAGE ATTACHMENTS and click again. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

Is the formatting applied MANUALLY? If so, then you'll need VBA.

Cell formatting cannot be referenced in a formula.

thanks
