hi all,
Can anybody tell me how in excel the number of cells on which i have applied conditional formatting be automatically counted and displayed.
FOR EXAMPLE:
in A1,B1,C1......z1 (26 cells) i have input the number values such as 15, 25,32,56,73,12,7,86...... respectively. Now i have applied conditional formatting of "less than 40". U all know it will colorize the cells having values less than 40 ---say its 15 cells-----. Now i want that instead of me counting the 15 colorized cells one by one, there should be a system which would display to me that there are 15 cells having values less than 40.

I hope i have made my problem clear......
thanx...

Hi Amrinder

You would use the COUNTIF function again as in:

=COUNTIF(A1:Z1,"<40")

The quotes around <40 are required.

For 40-50:

=COUNTIF(A1:Z1,"<51") - COUNTIF(A1:Z1,"<40")

For 70-80:

=COUNTIF(A1:Z1,"<81") - COUNTIF(A1:Z1,"<70")

etc...
