Microsoft Word 2010 offers an option to see how many words there are in a document. Is there a similar option in Excel 2010 to see how many cells/values/formulas I have in a specific workbook or a specific sheet?
In Word 2010, the word count can be found in File > Informations > Show all properties. In Excel though, there isn't nearly as much information. Is it hidden somewhere else?
You might use the SpecialCells
property of the Range
object to find this information. For example, ActiveSheet.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas).Count
will return the number of cells containing formulas on the active sheet, and ActiveSheet.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants).Count
will return the number of cells containing constants. See the documentation for more information.
If you wanted totals for an entire workbook, you could loop through the elements of the Workbook
object's Worksheets
collection, use the SpecialCells
property of each Worksheet
object's Cells
member to get the numbers you want, and add up the totals.
