Google Sheets allows you to color cells based on certain conditions or to highlight important information. However, sometimes you may want to know how many cells are colored in a particular range or sheet. The good news is that there is a simple formula that you can use to count colored cells in Google Sheets.

The formula for counting colored cells is: =COUNTIF(range, "color")

In this formula, "range" refers to the cells that you want to check for color, and "color" refers to the color that you want to count. For example, if you want to count the number of red cells in the range A1:A10, you would use the following formula: =COUNTIF(A1:A10, "red")

You can also use the formula to count cells of other colors, by replacing "red" with the name of the color you want to count. For example, to count the number of blue cells in the range A1:A10, you would use the following formula: =COUNTIF(A1:A10, "blue")

You can also use the formula to count multiple colors at once. For example, to count the number of red and blue cells in the range A1:A10, you would use the following formula: =COUNTIF(A1:A10, "red")+COUNTIF(A1:A10, "blue")

In summary, the COUNTIF function is an excellent way to count colored cells in Google Sheets. With the help of this function, you can easily count the number of cells in a range that are colored a specific color. With the combination of other functions and formulas, you can create more advanced use cases.
