How to count cells in a range with a value less than another cell in excel?

Question

My Table looks like below

if \"team1\" value is less than \"general\"

Answer 1

You can use XL4 macros (Excel formula) to count up cells with different backcolor or even font colour in excel :) See this LINK. For Font color the type_num is 24. And for backcolor we will use 63

1. Open the Name Manager
2. Give a name. Say BackColor
3. Type this formula in Refers To =GET.CELL(63,OFFSET(INDIRECT("RC",FALSE),-1,0)) and click OK

The explanation of =GET.CELL() is mentioned in the above link.

Now let's say your workbook looks like this

Next put this formula in row 2.

=backcolor

Next put =COUNTIF(A2:J2,8) and =COUNTIF(A2:J2,7) in cell C5 and C6 respectively and you will get the total count of colors.
