what is the best function for counting rows?
I just want a simple formula to automatically return a result for number of
rows in a sheet (minus the heading). I don't want to have to review the last row every time it changes or might have changed. |

Assuming your table is in Sheet1, in col A across, headers in row1, data from
row2 down w/o any intervening blank cells Then in Sheet2, In A1, copied across: =COUNTA(Sheet1!A:A)-1 will return the required monitoring data row counts for cols A to xxx in Sheet1 -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 Downloads:17,000 Files:358 Subscribers:55 xdemechanik --- "Jo" wrote: I just want a simple formula to automatically return a result for number of rows in a sheet (minus the heading).

Thank you Max - that's perfect. Just for interest's sake, does 'A' refer to
a whole worksheet?

And if there are, or can be, intervening blanks...

Thank you Rick. Once a formula gets complicated I lose interest!!

That's good .. Just for interest's sake, does 'A' refer to a whole worksheet? If you mean: Sheet1!A:A in the formula, that term refers to the entire col A in Sheet1 -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 Downloads: 16,700, Files: 356, Subscribers: 53 xdemechanik --- |

But if you can ever have intervening blank cells, then the non-complicated
formula won't work. Rick "Jo" wrote in message ... Thank you Rick. Once a formula gets complicated I lose interest!!

You're missing out on all the fun of Excel! I'm just the opposite. I don't get "interested" unless the formula is complicated! -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Jo" wrote in message ... Thank you Rick.
