Thumbs up Answer: How to count number of sheets

To count the number of sheets in an Excel workbook:
  1. Use the formula:
    Formula:
    =COUNTA(INDIRECT("1:"&SHEETS())) 
  2. The INDIRECT function creates a reference to all the sheet names in the workbook.
  3. The COUNTA function counts the number of non-blank cells in that reference.
  4. The SHEETS function determines the total number of sheets in the workbook.

To display the total number of sheets in a different cell:
  1. Reference the cell containing the above formula.
  2. Use the formula:
    Formula:
    =A1 
  3. This will display the same number as the previous formula, but in a different cell.
  4. Format the cell to display the number as text, if desired, by selecting the cell and choosing "Text" from the "Number Format" dropdown in the "Home" tab of the ribbon.
