Sub likeThis()
MsgBox = Selection.Count / 256
End Sub

If I select a group of rows, and then add more groups of rows to the
selection by holding down CTRL, How can I find out the total number of rows

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

Thanks!
