I'm new to VBA and I have a worksheet where I need to determine the number of
contiguous blocks of cells with data in them. There could be two to four
blocks. All of the blocks will be within Range A1:I25. I thought I could use
Areas.Count so I set up a test Sub with three blocks of cells. Here is the
sub:

Sub CountAreas()
Range("A1:C7").Value = 9
Range("F9:I16").Value = 10
Range("A21:D25").Value = 12
Range("A1:I25").Select
x = Selection.Areas.Count
Range("A30").Value = x
Debug.Print x
End Sub

The value of x is 1 when I run the sub. I thought it should be 3. Any help
on what I'm doing incorrectly would be apprciated.
