    color function

    Hi,
    I am new here. Have used spreadsheets a fair amount but wanted to sum by font color. Using this formula it works fine only when you make changes, change font color or add or delete numbers in the column it will not return the answer until you double click on cell with the formula then click on empty cell. What am I doing wrong?
    =ColorSum(B2,D4:D36)


    Function ColorSum(ColorCell As Range, SumRange As Range) As Variant
    Dim Cell As Range
    For Each Cell In SumRange
    If Cell.Font.ColorIndex = ColorCell.Font.ColorIndex Then
    ColorSum = Cell + ColorSum
    End If
    Next
    ColorSum = ColorSum
    End Function

    Excel does not recalculate based on color changes; color is not data to Excel.
