仅使用VBA选择可见单元格的范围

Question

I have the following function "CountCcolor()" that I would like to use on a status tracker. My intention is to be able to use the function to find in a single columns range of visible cells how many are highlighted in a specific color, say green.

Function CountCcolor(range_data As Range, criteria As Range) As Long

    Dim datax As Range
    Dim xcolor As Long

    ' The next one-liner does not work. Without it, it selects visible and hidden cells. I only want it to select visible cells:
    range_data = Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Select

    xcolor = criteria.Interior.ColorIndex
    For Each datax In range_data
        If datax.Interior.ColorIndex = xcolor Then
             CountCcolor = CountCcolor + 1
        End If
    Next datax
End Function

Thank you for your help in advance!

Don't use Interior.ColorIndex

Instead, just use Interior.Color . I was stumped by this once as well. In short, the ColorIndex represents a palate of colors, not a unique color. See here for more details

Function CountCcolor(range_data As Range, criteria as Range) As Long

Dim myRange As Range, myCell As Range, TempCount As Long
Set myRange = range_data.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)

For Each myCell In myRange
    If myCell.Interior.Color = criteria.Interior.Color Then
        TempCount = TempCount + 1
    End If
Next myCell

CountCcolor = TempCount

End Function
