Solved: calculating a %, based on the bg color of a cell

[ironj32]

Is it possible to create a calculation in a cell, "C4", based upon the fill colors of cells on a separate work sheet? For example: Any time a task has been completed a cell color is changed to "Green"...otherwise the cell colors are "Red" or "Yellow".

I would like to be able to take a count of all of the cells in the range of B4:B20 on Sheet2, and determine the percent complete, based upon color.

Is this possible? If it is, any help with coding would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Option Explicit

Sub test()
Dim arr(55)
Dim cel As Range
Dim Col As Long, i As Long, x As Long
Dim msg As String

For Each cel In Sheets(2).Range("B4:B20")
Col = cel.Interior.ColorIndex
arr(Col) = arr(Col) + 1
x = x + 1
Next

For i = 0 To 55
If arr(i) <> 0 Then msg = msg & i & " - " & 100 * arr(i) / x & "%" & vbCr
Next
MsgBox msg

End Sub

Thanks a million mdmackillop and xld. Below is the code that I ended up using. So far it's working great.

Function Camp1_ir_Finish()
Dim arr(56)
Dim cel As Range
Dim Col As Long, i As Long, x As Long
Dim cl1 As Integer
Dim ws As Worksheet

Set ws = Worksheets("Summary")

For Each cel In Sheets("Detail").Range("ir_finish1")
Col = cel.Interior.ColorIndex
arr(Col) = arr(Col) + 1
x = x + 1
Next

For i = 4 To 4
If arr(i) <> 0 Then
ws.Cells(4, 3).Value = arr(i) / x
Else
ws.Cells(4, 3).Value = 0
End If
Next
End Function
