I want to sum data baed upon the fill color. An existing spreadsheet
has been manually shaded to show the "selected cells". I want to write
a formula to look for a specific shading, find the specific color, and
then add the cells that are shaded the correct color. Is this
possible? I know there are formulas to select cells based upon text
color but I can't seem to find a formula that selects cells based upon
background color.
