Stupid counting question!!
I know this is dumb, but it's driving me nuts - one of my co-workers has a
spreadsheet and if he highlights a group of cells with his mouse, the number of cells he has highlighted automatically comes up on the bottom of his screen - it says "Count=11" or however many cells he highlighted. It doesn't add the number IN the cells, just counts whatever he highlights. He has NO idea how he got it to do this and one of my other co-workers needs this function on one of his spreadsheets. I'm sure this is some stupid, easy thing, but I can NOT figure it out and it's driving me nuts!!! I did search through the questions but either I'm not finding this EXACT thing, or I'm not understanding it.... Thanks in advance for ANY help!!! (o: |

and select......... you can cancel the appointment with your psychiatrist. -- Greetings from New Zealand Bill K "NotIT" wrote in message ...

Try this:
Right-Click in the status bar (at the bottom of the Excel window). Select the function you want to be used. Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP-Pro "NotIT" wrote: I know this is dumb, but it's driving me nuts - one of my co-workers has a spreadsheet and if he highlights a group of cells with his mouse, the number of cells he has highlighted automatically comes up on the bottom of his screen - it says "Count=11" or however many cells he highlighted.
