Excel : Count Number of Cells Colour in Row

Try below code to count the rowwise number of colour cells.
i have hardcode the column value. even comment (A macro comment is a piece of text in a macro which will not be executed by Excel VBA. It is only there to provide you information about the macro)
the lines which provide the last column

the person from this requirement came she used to count the colour rows manually. in actual file there are around 191 columns day wise & rows contain employee names. its hours of work with this code now in fraction of second.





Sub Mtest()
Dim countcolor As Long, ColorCount As Long
Dim i As Long, LC As Long
'LC = Cells(3, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
'change row here
For i = 3 To Sheet1.Cells(Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row
ColorCount = 0
For Each c In Range(Cells(i, 5), Cells(i, 191)) 'change column count here
'For Each c In Range(Cells(i, 5), Cells(i, LC)) 'change column count here
If c.Interior.ColorIndex = 3 Then ColorCount = ColorCount + 1
Next c
countcolor = ColorCount
Cells(i, 191).Offset(0, 2).Value = countcolor
'Cells(i, LC).Offset(0, 1).Value = countcolor
Next i
End Sub


I have taken Red colour in above example .(Interior.ColorIndex = 3)
Excel Color Palette has an index of 56 colors which can be modified using VBA. Each color in the palette is associated with a unique value in the index that can be changed programatically. At times it is useful to know the relative positioning of the various colors within this index as well as how various versions of Excel treat colors


Excel : Unlock Workbook And Unlock Worksheet

If you have forgotten your workbook or worksheet password. You will find below information helpful to unprotect excel workbook or worksheet password

The code below can unlock a workbook password and sheet passwords
Module provides Excel workbook and sheet unlock routines. The algorithm
relies on a backdoor password that can be 1 to 9 characters long where each
character is either an "A" or "B" except the last which can be any character
from ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) code 32 to 255.Implemented as a regular module for use with any Excel VBA project.
