rows? How?

Built in? Only in excel 2003

=SUBTOTAL(103,Range)

otherwise you would need a UDF or a macro

Hi Peo,

Thanks for the reply ... =subtotal adds the numbers in
the column, I'm looking for a way to do just a cell
count. I have a spreadsheet with over a thousand rows in
it. I've hidden the ones I don't need, and am trying to
figure out how to do a count pf how many records are
remaining.

I am using 2003.

Thanks,

Hi
just try Peo's function. In this case using 9 as first parameter is
does a COUNT

 

[Jim]

I tried this:

=subcount(9,E1:E5)

and got this in return:

#NAME?

where can I find a reference of the different definitions
of that first parameter?

Thanks,

--Jim

Hi
use the formula as provided
=SUBTOTAL(9,E1:E5)

and just open Excel's help and search for SUBTOTAL

9 is SUM 2 is COUNT

1 AVERAGE
2 COUNT
3 COUNTA
4 MAX
5 MIN
6 PRODUCT
7 STDEV
8 STDEVP
9 SUM
10 VAR
11 VARP

Just notice that 9 will sum while 2 will count numbers and 3 will count
everything but blanks, finally if the rows are hidden you have to prefix it
with 10 and only in excel 2003

=SUBTOTAL(103,E1:E15)

This is the one that worked for me. Thank-you PEO for
spelling it out for me!

=SUBTOTAL(102,F1:F6)
