Keep in mind that Martin's suggestion will count the number of cells
that contain data within the selected rows. It will not just count
the number of selected rows. If it is truly the number of selected
rows that you are after, you'll need to use VBA.

Is there a way of identifying how many items have been selected without
counting them yourself?

Thanks!
