How many rows have I selected ?

[Guest]

Hi,

Any function that could tell me how many rows have I selected?
i.e. I have selected cells(A1:E5), the function could show me 5 row.

Thanks

Hi Paul,

Assiming you are referring to VBA, try:

Dim NumOfRows As Long

NumOfRows = Selection.Rows.Count

Hi, Norman,

Thanks for you help. But I need is function, not VBA. Is it any?

There is no worksheet function for this. Take Norman's suggestion and
write it as a VBA User Defined Function

Function rowsSelected()
Application.Volatile
rowsSelected = Selection.Rows.Count
End Function

Declaring the the function to be volatile is necessary to get it to
recalculate in future recalculation events.

No, you can count the rows in a specified range, but not the selection.

You also have to force a recalc after selecting a range, the selection
itself won't do it.
