In MS Excel, how do I write this count function ?
I want a cell in MS Excel to count the number cells in range of cells that have a particular background (for instance, orange background); or to count the number of cells with the font defined as bold. How do I write this function?

Add a regular module to your Excel project and add the following functions:
Function COUNTBOLD(rngTarget As Range)
Dim rngCell As Range, lngCount As Long
lngCount = 0
For Each rngCell In rngTarget
If rngCell.Font.Bold Then lngCount = lngCount + 1
Next
COUNTBOLD = lngCount
End Function
Function COUNTCOLOR(rngTarget As Range, Red As Integer, Green As Integer, Blue As Integer)
Dim rngCell As Range, lngCount As Long
lngCount = 0
For Each rngCell In rngTarget
If rngCell.Interior.Color = RGB(Red, Green, Blue) Then lngCount = lngCount + 1
Next
COUNTCOLOR = lngCount
End Function
Usage:
=COUNTBOLD(A1:B2)
returns the count of all cells in A1:B2 with Bold font turned on
=COUNTCOLOR(A1:B2,247,150,70)
returns the count of all cells in A1:B2 with the interior color set to the RGB value of Red=247, Green=150, Blue=70
