Yes, I know it works without the "As Long" part, but that is because it
defaults to a Variant... I only use Variants when I have to (in large code
and/or especially in loops, they tend to be slow and memory wasters) and
that variable in the code I posted does not need to be a Variant.

By the way, I just noticed that I didn't complete the type declaration
for
the Formulas (counter) variable. This statement...

Dim Formulas

should have been this instead...

Dim Formulas As Long

Hey Rick, that's great, and soooooo much faster. Thankyou very much for
the
extra yards. Brett

By the way, I just looked at your actual code and I think you can do
what
you want without so much looping. Give this macro a try...

Sub CountSheetsAndFormulas()
Dim Sh As Worksheet
Dim Formulas
On Error Resume Next
For Each Sh In Worksheets
Formulas = Formulas +
Sh.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas).Count
Next
MsgBox "SHEETS in this workbook: " & Sheets.Count & vbLf & vbLf & _
"FORMULAS in this workbook: " & Formulas
End Sub

Actually, what was happening was that it was only counting the
formulas
in
the cells from that sheet that I ran it from, over and over. What
fixed
it
was

If Sheets(sh.Name).Cells(countrow, countcol).HasFormula = True Then

instead of
If Cells(countrow, countcol).HasFormula = True Then

Hello there, I have some simple code below which counts the sheets
and
formulas in a given workbook. The problem is that if I have run the
macro
from the last worksheet visible it gives me a formula count of 0,
but
if
run
from the first visible sheet it gives the correct count of 28,119.

How can I make it select the first visible worksheet before it goes
into
the
"For" routine please? Regards, Brett
