Overview
Custom Count & Sum — Release notes

Version 2.0

Ten years after the original release, this is the biggest update yet — new functions, smarter ranges, a free tier, a completely redesigned sidebar and a brand new website.

Version 2.0
May 2026

New functions

  • New Filter functions — FILTERBGCOLOR FILTERFONTCOLOR FILTERFONTSTYLE FILTERCOLORANDSTYLE extract matching values as a spill array, so you can list or process them elsewhere in your sheet
  • New Boolean functions — ISFONTSTYLE ISFONTCOLOR ISBGCOLOR ISCOLORANDSTYLE return TRUE or FALSE per cell, making them composable with native formulas like =SUMPRODUCT(ISBGCOLOR("A2:A20","C1")*B2:B20). Use these with SUMPRODUCT instead of many COUNT or SUM formulas to reduce server calls.
  • New Include or exclude empty cells — COUNTSTYLE COUNTFONTCOLOR COUNTBACKGROUNDCOLOR COUNTCOLORANDSTYLE accept an optional extra argument: pass FALSE to count only non-empty cells, or omit it to include empty cells (default)

Multi-range support

  • New All COUNT, SUM, AVERAGE and FILTER functions now accept multiple ranges at once — pass them as an array literal, e.g. =COUNTBACKGROUNDCOLOR({"A1:A10","C1:C10"}, "D1"). Single ranges continue to work exactly as before.

Free & paid plans

  • New Free tier — all functions work on ranges up to 30 cells with no account or license required
  • New Paid subscription — unlock unlimited ranges with a monthly (€1.99/mo), yearly (€14.99/yr) or lifetime (€39.99) plan, processed securely via Stripe
  • New 7-day free trial — new users get full access automatically on first use
  • New Team plan — domain licenses at €10.99/seat/yr (minimum 5 seats) with self-serve seat management; note that licenses are per user, not per domain, so a domain-wide install alone doesn't unlock full access for every user

Sidebar

  • Improved Completely redesigned sidebar with a cleaner layout, updated branding and improved typography
  • New Account tab — view your plan, manage your subscription and see your expiry date at a glance
  • New Support form — send questions, bug reports or feature requests directly from the sidebar without leaving your spreadsheet
  • New Recalculate button — formatting changes (colors, font styles) don't trigger recalculation automatically; the new Recalculate all formulas button in the sidebar forces an immediate refresh across all sheets
  • New New website — replaces the old landing page, with clearer pricing, a full function reference, FAQ and a proper contact form
