Excel has no built-in way to count colors. The solutions to do that are here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.cpearson.com/excel/colors.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.cpearson.com/excel/colors.aspx</a></p> <p>and require Visual Basic familiarity. I take it that the colors are assigned manually? If there is conditional Excel formatting that does it, you can piggy-back on the same conditions and make your calculations via a sumif() or sumproduct(). Tell us more about how the colors come about.</p> <p>...mrt</p> Hello Jennifer -

I am hoping that I am posting this in the right place, this is my first time inside as a member.

I have an excel issue that I haven’t been able to solve. I am working on a schedule for the Doctor’s in the clinic that I work at. The “A” column consists of the days of the month, while the “B” column has a cell for the name of the Doctor working that day. The cells are color coded red for stat days, yellow for Monday nigh clinics, pink for wednesday night clinics and orange for Saturday clinics.

What I am trying to do is to be able to count what each Doctor has worked for the month by counting the name and the color of the cell. For example,

Monday Wednesday Saturday Stat
Dr, Smith 3 1 2 0

I hope this makes sense to everyone, and I eagerly await your genious!

Jennifer
