hi all,
I have a wide table of numbers which I've sorted by some criteria, coloring the cells with specific colors.
Please see photo attached.
Is there a way to sort out on each line the number of colored cells?
many thanks!

You could use COUNTIFS based on whatever criteria you used to colour the cells.

thnks TMS, pls see the screenshot, I've done the =countifs ; selected range , -but as a criteria how can I impose the green colored cells? and how can I make it extrapolate how many cells are colored?
Did you colour those cells manually or by using conditional formatting? What criteria do those cells have to meet to be coloured green?

I added column A and that's where you will find the formulas.

Compared to skywriter's solution, this looks a little over engineeredI've copied the code from Chip Pearson's download verbatim. He also has a Selection Change event handler to simulate a change event when a cell's colour is changed (this relies on a Named Range called ColorCells)
The event handler is listed here but there is too much code in the Color functions to list.
