Default count worksheets

Herbert

A clever solution.

Just one caveat,,,,,,,,,,,,only worksheets will be counted so if user has chart
sheets they will be missed.

Or without code or formulas:
Right-click on any tab Select All Sheets
Select a cell location that you don't normally use,
say HZ10.
Type in it an odd sequence of letters, say QXYZ.
QXYZ will now appear on all sheets at HZ10
Edit Find QXYZ Find All
The number of sheets will appear in the
lower left corner of the Find window.
A format color instead of QZYZ also works.
This way you can select A1 and not accidentally
overwrite data.

Aah, excellent! Good value.
