Count, sum, average and filter cells by background color, font color and style — across sheets too.

Overview
Stop manually tagging or re-sorting your data just to total up colored cells. Custom Count & Sum adds 23 custom functions to Google Sheets that count, sum, average and filter based on how your cells actually look — background color, font color, and font style (bold, italic, underline, strikethrough).

COLOR & STYLE FUNCTIONS
Sum or count cells by background color, font color, or font style — use a reference cell or a hex code. Combine color AND style in a single condition (e.g. only bold red cells).

CROSS-SHEET FUNCTIONS
Aggregate the same range across every sheet in your spreadsheet with SUMALLSHEETS, COUNTALLSHEETS and AVERAGEALLSHEETS — no more manually summing tab by tab.

FILTER FUNCTIONS
Spill matching values into a clean vertical array with FILTERBGCOLOR, FILTERFONTCOLOR, FILTERFONTSTYLE and FILTERCOLORANDSTYLE — empty cells excluded automatically.

CHECK FUNCTIONS
ISFONTSTYLE, ISFONTCOLOR, ISBGCOLOR and ISCOLORANDSTYLE return true/false per cell, matching your range's shape — perfect for conditional logic and audits.

WORKS WITH FUNCTIONS YOU ALREADY KNOW
Filter and Check results aren't locked into this add-on — they plug straight into any native Sheets function. Wrap a Filter result in STDEV(), MEDIAN(), or LARGE(); combine a Check result with SUMPRODUCT() or MAXIFS(). No need to wait for a matching built-in function from this add-on — compose it yourself with what Sheets already offers.

Built for anyone who color-codes spreadsheets: project trackers, budget sheets, inventory logs, status boards. If you've ever wished SUM and COUNT understood color, this add-on is for you.

Free forever for smaller ranges. Paid plans unlock larger ranges — monthly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime option. Licenses are per user, not per domain — a domain-wide install doesn't include full access for every domain user on its own. A separate team plan is available for covering a whole domain.

Worked perfectly for years and years then it stopped. Looking into what's going on, Google depreciated "Rhino" runtime and installed "V8" runtime for security reasons. (I didn't ask for this...) The app creator seems to be MIA. I guess we are SOL. :-(

Like others, I have used this for years and it's been awesome. Looking for a replacement now that Rhino support is gone, apparently.

It stopped working since a few days, the error: "Execution failed. The Rhino runtime is deprecated and no longer supported."

Worked great until Sheets forced the update from Rhino to V8. Now it only produces errors. Looks like I'll need to find an alternative.

Turning things into strings with quotation marks throws me off a little bit but otherwise very cool, thank you.

Seriously? Ranges and cell references have to be put in quotation marks? This means that to copy the formula across a range of rows/columns, I have to edit each single cell to update the row/column reference manually instead of having it relative reference automatically. This is a deal breaker.

I specifically needed to count cells based on background color. This app does that just fine. The problem is, if you change colors or add new cells of the same color, it does not automatically recalculate. This renders the whole process useless since it would be distributed out to others to use. If everyone has to modify the formula to recalculate, it is a waste of time. The formula worked very well but you should really find an automated workaround instead of only suggesting the repass in the help file.
