    Question How to Count Highlighted Rows that contain an X ?

    Hi All,

    To find the best product for my customers I need to count the rows that I have highlighted by filling with a colour AND that contain an 'X' in the cell. Giving a total at the bottom of the row for each highlighted and 'X' cell. I cannot find any easy way of doing this and I am sure I will need to run a VBA script but cant quite get my head around how to do this. Perhaps there is an easier way to do this entirely! I'm open to all suggestions.

    I have attached a picture of what it currently looks like.

    Many thanks

    Re: How to Count Highlighted Rows that contain an X ?

    Six's solution will give you a count of the "X", but as far as I know, there is no formula to count "colors".

    is there some logic to them being colored that excel could use to assist the count?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)

    Hm... If you want to count based on the background color and value "x" then slight changes in your UDF.

    To know the active cell background color Number then use the below code
