The macro in this workbook automatically updates the references from the ASAP Utilities formulas
to the program folder if needed. This can for example be the case if ASAP Utilities is not installed
in the default C:\Program Files\ASAP Utilities\ folder but for example
C:\Program Files (x86)\ASAP Utilities\
If the macro does not run automatically then you can press the button below:

Returns the name of the worksheet this formula is used on.
We use this also to dynamically create the hyperlinks to the formulas on our website in the link on each works
For example in the link in cell B1 on the worksheet ASAPRANDOMPASSWORD we use the following formula
Err:511
which results in the following hyperlink address:

You can use this function to count the number of cells that have a certain font color.
The first parameter is the range to be searched, the second parameter is either the cell that has the fontcolor

Example 1
Use the =ASAPSUMBYFONTCOLOR() formula to SUM the values of cells with a blue font:
We use B10 in the formula to have the formula count the cells with the same cell color as cell B10
