Is there a formula that sums cells based on if they are highlighted? I’m tracking when material gets delivered and I highlight each delivered quantity as it completes. In a separate cell, can I do a formula that calculates the total quantity delivered as soon as I highlight it?

And use that additional column (maybe ‘Delivered’ = Y/N) to conditionally format the Quantity column to auto highlight and then a Sumif.. remember to collapse the column if needed

You can use Subtotal to sorta do it the way you are thinking though! Filter out the unhighlighted rows to see the correct total

There is no native excel function that pulls the color format from a cell, so the answer is no*

*however, you can create your own vba code that identifies the color of a cell, and then sum all cells that match your "highlight criteria"

Not sure but here’s a work around. Rather than highlight, have a column for “include.” Then you can =IF(include cell = “yes”,total Q delivered,””)

Sumifs would be cleaner

You can filter by color

+1 to the suggestion above. I would just have a separate column that indicates “Delivered” or “Yes” and then have conditional formatting applied to the other columns based on the “Delivered” columns value. And then you can do a sumifs based on the “Delivered” column value.

You may find greater scope for analysis if you include a delivery date instead of just a yes/no. Although perhaps overkill for your use case right now, if you did want to build in something later it's already there.

Either way, sumif/s is your friend here as others have said.

You can create custom function using VBA to do this I believe

This is what did it. I had to do some research on the VBA formula, but I was able to do SUMBYCOLOR once I had it.
