Countif, value and background color

**jope1993** · 07-13-2012, 04:18 PM

Is it possible to make a macro that counts the number of cells with a specific value and background color? Ideally you should be able to fill in criteria in a formula on the sheet (color criteria as color index).

Yes. The following sub counts the number of cells in range A1:A20 for values matching the value in cell B1 and the color of cell B2.

Should I write =ColorFunction in the cell where I want the result, I get #NAME?.

See the attached file. Click the Count button (which runs the sub called CountCells). It counts the number of cells in the range A1:A20 which match the value of cell B1 and the colour of cell B2.

You have not attached any file.

@ mojo249

Excuse me, it was me that was not clear, but I need a macro that only counts cells that both the value and the reverse primer corresponds to the specified value and the reverse primer.

For example, if the specified value is 3 and the reverse primer is blue, then you should only count cells that have both the 3 and the background color blue. It should not count on a cell such as reverse primer would be green but still the value is 3.

Hope you can understand what I mean.

The best way of learning is having a go. I've shown you how to count based on value and colour. Try modifying it to suit your needs.

If you get stuck post back.

Sorry that I have not responded.

I know that the best way to learn is by trying yourself. And this I have done, but failed and the reason I wrote on the forum.
