Defining Cells to be Added using SUMIF

[Pappey]

Can the criteria be set using cell formatting information; as an example I'd
like to add all value of all cells with red background color.

Pappey,

You can sum a range by color by using a VBA function. This site provides
the code:

Surely a macro is not necessary. Can't you use a formula which uses something
for background colour don't know what ! Isn't it true that using a lot of
macros causes computer breakdown ?

hey que pasa,


Properly written macros wont break down your PC but if you can use a
formula instead of a macro then formula is the way to go. In this case
Excel does not have a function to detect the font / background color.
The function the John provided should do that job.
