Unfortunately, there isn't a way without VBA.

Why not use a formula similar to the CF rule for "Overdue", and its opposite for "On Time"?

In J2: =SUM(--(E2:E21<=D2:D21)), returning 11

In J3: =SUM(--(E2:E21>D2:D21)), returning 9

Hello,

As Jessica writes, you need VBA if you want to count by colour, but why bother when you can use the same criterias used in the CF rules and use SUMPRODUCT.

=SUMPRODUCT(($E$2:$E$21>$D$2:$D$21)*(L$1=YEAR($E$2:$E$21)))

Br,
Anders
