I need a formula similar to the one in the subject, i know that won't work though. In each row is a series of "y"s and "n"s. I need to know if there are two "n"s in a row.
Thanks,

Also, I forgot to mention, i have a conditional format so that when there are two "n"s in a row one turns orange. Maybe i can do =count(# of orange cells, c3:ad3)
Thanks.
In A3 --
=IF(COUNTIF(C3:AD3,"n")>1,"Two","")

I'm sorry, I didn't post that correct the first time. Instead of two "n"s in a row, i need to know when there is a "y" and a "n" next to each other.
Each person gets a row and each skill gets two columns, one for "trained" and one for "used". If they are trained but not used, ("y" then "n") it will turn orange. i need a formula to tell me how many oranges are in each row.
I hope this makes sense; if it doesn't, I will elaborate more or show an example.
Thanks,
You may be able to use a combination of COUNTIF and the Conditional
formatting foumula to count the cells that are orange. What is the CF
formula?
I have code that will count colored cells but it won't work for conditional
formatting colors.

Thanks, the CF formula is =AND(MOD(COLUMN(),2)=0,C2="y",D2="n")Originally Posted by L. Howard Kittle
and this is in D:AD.
How about sending me a sample worksheet. I'm a bit vague on the whole set
up. May not be able to help but will give it a go.

Sure, what is your email address. Send me a PM if you don't want to display it publicly.
Thanks.
You should be able to attach it to a reply to me from this post.
I see some of my replies are not making it to the group.

It won't let me post the .xls file, so i changed it to .txt. that changed the file drastically, but you may still be able to get a better understanding of what I'm working with.
Hope this helps.
Send an attachment to [email protected]
I'll be going to the dentist shortly but will get on it as soon as I can

Hi Scott,
=IF(AND(C3="y",D3="n")=TRUE,1,"") returns 1 when your conditional format
conditions exist. Enter in cell AI3 and select AI3 and AJ3, (which is
empty), and pull over to BI. This will space the formulas to match your
sheet. While row 3 is still selected, grab cell BI3 and pull the whole row
down to row 41
Enter =SUM(AI3:BJ3) in cell AH3 and pull down to 41.
Enter =SUM(AH3:AH41) in cell AH43.
Check conditional formatting in cell AD4. It compares cells AB & AD.
Should be AC & AD??
Sample sheet sent to you.
