  • In this Excel tutorial we will learn how to SUM and COUNT cells based on the background fill colour of the cell WITHOUT using VBA.
    VBA is by far the most flexible way to complete the task BUT, there are other methods we can use if we want a simpler resolution.
    The four methods we will explore in this video are:
    - Find
    - The SUBTOTAL function + Filters
    - The AGGREGATE function + Filters
    - GET.CELL with a macro

    It's an eyedropper what you're looking for. Thanks for the video.

    Thank you for this wonderful video. Is it possible to SUM by cell color using the "Get.Cell" command?

    Great video Deb. 👍
    A little warning about the GET.CELL method.
    I believe the workbook needs to be saved as .a xlsm file type. Which means other users will need to unblock or enable the file before it will operate correctly.
    GET.CELL is an Excel 4 Macro and it is no longer supported. So Microsoft could remove the functionality without any warning if they wanted to (unlikely, but possible).

      Yep it needs to be saved as a macro enabled spreadsheet! Good knowledge, thanks for the tip Mark! :)

    Hi. Loving your tutorials Deb. I have a spreadsheet with coloured cells and values- to identify how much is being spent on each person for Christmas 🎄!! Each colour represents a different person. Can these values be filtered by colour and the values totalled- so at a glance one can see the totals for each person?
    Many thanks
    Mark

      Hello, you can't do it with SUMIF which is why I haven't shown that method in the video

    but how do you sum by colour?

    • @cellmatestraining

      There’s an annotation in the video. Method is the same. Use SUBTOTAL or AGGREGATE but select SUM from the list instead of COUNT.

    This video is only for people who are proficient with excel. It’s not for the massive amount of people who are not. If views are important to you, you should make it for people who have never used excel or almost never use it, which is almost everyone. For that matter, you should make EVERY video from that point of view.

      Hello, I complete disagree with you. Not every video is for everyone. I post a complete mix of very basic to more advanced videos. This video ISN’T aimed at those with zero knowledge of Excel.
      All of my videos are tagged Basic, Intermediate or Advanced. You can see it in the thumbnail. This one says ‘Excel Advanced’ in the corner.
      Not every video can start with a recap of the most basic concepts.
      If views on UA-cam were that important to me, I’d post more than 1 video a month. 🤣
      If you are looking to learn Excel from scratch, I would suggest a Beginners training course that moves logically through the content. Thanks!
