Function by color add-on for Google Sheets™ makes it easy to calculate values based on background (fill) or font (text) color in your spreadsheet. It's perfect for color-coded data and helps you quickly summarize information using visual cues.

You can apply powerful functions like:
**SUM, COUNT (numbers), COUNTA (text), COUNTBLANK, AVERAGE, MIN, MAX, PRODUCT, MODE, STDEV, VAR**, and **MEDIAN**.

It also helps identify empty cells by color and count how many are left blank.

### ⚙️ **How to Use**

1. **Select the range** of cells to analyze (e.g., `C3:C12`) by clicking the “Select Range” input.
2. **Choose the target color** by selecting a cell that contains the desired text and background colors (or set them manually).
3. **Pick a function** to apply (e.g., `SUM`, `AVERAGE`, `COUNT`, `COUNTBLANK`, etc.).
4. **Choose where the result should appear** by selecting the result cell (e.g., `F8`) via the “Result Cell” input.
5. **(Optional)**: Check the box if you want the result cell to use the same font and background color.
6. **Choose whether to calculate by text color or background color** under “Calculate In”.
7. Click **“Apply Function”**.

The formula will be inserted like this:
```
=SUM(CELLSVALUEBYCOLOR("#4a86e8", "#0c343d", "C3:C12"))
```

### 🧮 **Custom Function: CELLSBYCOLOR**
