The problem is thus:
I am trying to count the volume of cells on a sheet with the value
"total", but I don't know how to!

Does anyone in googleland have any ideas?

Thanks for your help,

Peter

=countif(a1:a100,"total")
or
=countif(a1:a100,"*total*")

Adjust your range to match what you need.

Thanks for the reply but countif does not seem to work in VBA. Sorry
for not being clear in my question but I am writing a macro in VBA. If
you can do it in Excel I'm sure you can do it in VBA.

Thanks,

This is what I did in the end:

Cells(1, 4) = "=COUNTIF(R[0]C[-1]:R[" & c & "]C[-1],""Total"")"
m = Cells(1, 4).Value
Cells(1, 4).Select
Selection.Clear
MsgBox m & " totals"
