Running Tally
 

I know I am reaching here but just wondering - I have a survey that I need to
tally. Is there a formula or a way to set up a cell where I can just click
that cell and it will keep adding each time I click on the cell and then give
me the total number of times that the cell has been "activated" ? Thanks!

You can have an event macro fire when you select the cell (clicking on it or
using the arrow keys, but coming from a different cell).

But how about just adding a button from the Forms toolbar that increments a
cell.

Option Explicit
Sub testme()
Dim myCell As Range

Set myCell = ActiveSheet.Range("A1")

With myCell
If IsNumeric(.Value) Then
.Value = .Value + 1
End If
End With
End Sub

If you're new to macros:

Debra Dalgleish has some notes how to implement macros he

(General, Regular and Standard modules all describe the same thing.)
