Determining number of Ranges
My initial Sub was
Sub CountAreas()
x = Range("A1:I25").Areas.Count
Range("A30").Value = x
Debug.Print x
End Sub
with the the data already in the three ranges. I added the code to insert
the values into the cells and select stuff because I thought I was doing
something incorrectly. The above code gives x the value of 1 also. I thought
the areas collection count would give the number of non contiguous cells
(containing data) within a given Range.
Thanks everyone for your responses

Dave,
If I'm reading the OP correctly he has a number of ranges defined, there may
or may not be data in a cell or cells in any of these ranges. I think what
he's trying to develop is the number of ranges that do have data in at least
one cell. Might be wrong and hopefully he'll jump in here and clarify a
bit.....

I'm not quite sure why you're selecting stuff, but here's another option:
Range("A1:C7,F9:I16,A21:D25").Select
MsgBox Selection.Areas.Count

I'm new to VBA and I have a worksheet where I need to determine the number of
contiguous blocks of cells with data in them. There could be two to four
blocks. All of the blocks will be within Range A1:I25. I thought I could use
Areas.Count so I set up a test Sub with three blocks of cells. Here is the
sub:
Sub CountAreas()
Range("A1:C7").Value = 9
Range("F9:I16").Value = 10
Range("A21:D25").Value = 12
Range("A1:I25").Select
x = Selection.Areas.Count
Range("A30").Value = x
Debug.Print x
End Sub
The value of x is 1 when I run the sub. I thought it should be 3. Any help
on what I'm doing incorrectly would be apprciated.
