is there a formula that can count a range of cells with text?

Hi
to count colore cells below a repost:

----
using a procedure from Bob Phillips and Harlan Grove you may try the
following:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(ColorIndex(A1:A100)=3))
to count all red cells (background color) within the range A1:A100

or
=SUMPRODUCT(--(ColorIndex(A1:A100,TRUE)=3))
to count all red cells (font color) within the range A1:A100

To get the colorindex of a specific cell use
=ColorIndex(A1)

Adapt this to your requirements

Is there a formula that counts # of cells selected? What if I have a
range of cells and some of them have blue as the bgrnd or a "format",
is there a specific formula that can be used to find out how many
have
this style?

Thanks!
