Using VBA, this snippet helps you calculate sums between any colored Excel cells within a given range.

Note: This function does not cover the case when only the text is marked with other font colors.

Please check the below screenshot illustrating the case when the sum of Green highlighted cells from the given data range needs to be calculated.

**How it works:**

Fill in manually the color in the data range. You can also use conditional formatting.

Select a reference cell. This needs to be highlighted in the color you are interested in. E.g. green

Access UiPath Studio.

In Invoke VBA activity type in the necessary Arguments values.

**Arguments Details:**

*   Colorcell - this is the reference cell. Manually enter the color, the same as the one in the data range. Then enter the cell number in the Argument Value. E.g. G6
*   Range – type in the data range. E.g. D6:E21
*   SheetName – enter the name of the sheet where the data, Colorcell and SumResult, are displayed. E.g. Sheet2
*   SumResult – add here the location where the Sum obtained after Bot execution will be displayed. E.g. H6
