    Count red cell's only?

    Hello Everyone!,

    Is there a way to count cells that have no information but are only red in color. So no text, numbers or anything symbols some cells have just been shaded in red color. If (for example) there is a column of 50 cells and 20 of them have been Filled with red then I want another cell (separate from the column of 50) to give me the number 20 (because 20 cells are red). I have tried to search around this forum but to no avail?

    Thank you in advance for any help.

    Margate
