Click **“Apply Function”**. The formula will be inserted like this: ``` =SUM(CELLSVALUEBYCOLOR("#4a86e8", "#0c343d", "C3:C12")) ``` ### 🧮 **Custom Function: CELLSBYCOLOR** `CELLSBYCOLOR` is a built-in function that calculates or summarizes values grouped by **either background color or font color**.
