You can use the IsNumeric function to determine if the
expression in the cell can be evaluated to a number, and
the For..Next construction to loop through all cells in
the selected range. For example, the following counts the
number of numeric cells in the range and displays a
message box with the result:

Sub CountNumeric()
Dim Cell As Range
Dim intCount As Integer
intCount = 0
For Each Cell In Selection
If IsNumeric(Cell) Then
intCount = intCount + 1
End If
Next
MsgBox "There are " & intCount & " numeric cells in the
selected range."
End Sub
