Count rows and insert number to count them.
How do I get excel to automatically count the number of rows with data in
them and insert the row number in a colum. I don't want to count any blank rows. |

try
Sub countnonblanks() lr = Cells(Rows.Count, "a").End(xlUp).Row br = Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(lr, 1)).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Count MsgBox lr - br End Sub -- Don Guillett SalesAid Software "Mex" wrote in message ...

The COUNT() function should do that, so if you want cell B1 to show a count
of the rows with data in column A use a formula like: =COUNT(A:A) in cell B1. HTH, TK "Mex" wrote: How do I get excel to automatically count the number of rows with data in them and insert the row number in a colum. I don't want to count any blank rows. |

Sorry Don but I'm new at this. Do you mean that I need to type this all in as
one formula? thx "Don Guillett" wrote: try Sub countnonblanks() lr = Cells(Rows.Count, "a").End(xlUp).Row br = Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(lr, 1)).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Count MsgBox lr - br End Sub -- Don Guillett SalesAid Software "Mex" wrote in message ...

It *should* be noted that the Count() function *only* counts numbers.
Since the OP only mentioned "data", it might be appropriate to cite that fact, and to also suggest the CountA() function, which counts *all* types of data ... literally counting *non-empty* cells. =COUNTA(A:A) -- Regards, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "T Kirtley" wrote in message ...

Thanks for your help Don. n I was able to find an easier formula from an
earlier posting. Here is the link http://www.j-walk.com/ss/excel/usertips/tip035.htm "Don Guillett" wrote: This is a macro. You would have to copy paste into a module and execute using f8 or assign to a button. In your case it might be better to use the formula suggested. -- Don Guillett SalesAid Software "Mex" wrote in message ... Sorry Don but I'm new at this.
