    Count color coded cells ( formatted conditionally ) in Excel 2010

    Hello,
    I am Excel beginner and have a deadline for this reporting which I can't get to work..

    I need to count color coded cells, which are colored via condition format.
    I use the VBA script below which I found on the web, but after 3 days of trying and searching how to get this work.. I need your help.

    Goal: I need to have the colored cells ( RED and GREEN) counted monthly and have the result in a different sheet of the workbook.
    So in my workbook attached, the monthly 'SLO Results' colors ( RED and GREEN) should be counted by month and the result is expected in 'sheet 1' in the monthly overview.

    Issue: It looks like the script works..but the counting is not

    This is the script :

    Administrative Note:

    Welcome to the forum.

    We would very much like to help you with your query, however you need to include code tags around your code.

    Please take a moment to add the tags. Posting code between tags makes your code much easier to read and copy for testing, and it also maintains VBA formatting.

    Please see Forum Rule #2 about code tags and adjust accordingly. Click on Edit to open your post, then highlight your code and click the # icon at the top of your post window. More information about these and other tags can be found here

    (Note: this change is not optional. As you are new, I will do it for you today.)

    What do you mean by Excel 10? There is no such version ...

    You cannot directly count conditional formatting results from a UDF. If possible, count the original conditions using a COUNTIF formula, as it will be more efficient.
    Everyone who confuses correlation and causation ends up dead.

    Thanks Rory,
    My understanding was that the only way of counting cell background colors conditionally formatted was via UDF ..But maybe I am wrong..

    Tags? Nobody has asked you to add tags.

    Go to SETTINGS (top right) and then Edit Profile - change the MS Office version setting to Excel 2010.

    You'd need to supply the same criteria that are being used in the conditional format.
