I'm looking to get the count of rows in column A. Before I was putting a formula into a cell and then pulling that value out of the cell and putting it into a variable. How can I avoid having to put this in the cell to get a count of the number of rows in column A that have a value?

Range("Z1").Formula = "=MATCH(9.9999999E+307,Richburg!A:A)"
Range("Z1").Font.Color = RGB(255, 255, 255)
Test = Range("Z1").Value

I also tried Test = Range(A:A).Count and that didn't work for me either. What am I doing wrong

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
Hullo. Given that there are no blank cells in col A, this UNTESTED snippet should work:
Code:
Range(.Range("A1"), .Range("A65535").End(xlUp)).Count

Is there a way I could count the number of selected rows? I'm trying to write a macro to emulate the copy/paste column width but rather row height.

basically I want to have the macro count the number of selected rows, update a dynamic array to be the size of the count of rows selected, read the row heights sequentially into the array, then the paste macro will take that array, and update sequentially the rows with the copied row starting at the row you select before running the paste macro.

If someone knows how to quickly write this it would solve the underlying problem, and not just this quick question on how to count the number of selected rows, either way any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I appreciate the input! I used this on a spreadsheet just now... and since I was getting user selected data... it looked like this...

Dim mainrange as RANGE
Dim X as INTEGER
Dim a as STRING
'------------------------------------
Set mainrange = Selection
x = mainrange.Count
a = "Correcting " + Str(x) + " lines"
Application.Speech.Speak (a)


This way my routine can tell the user how many lines it is currently working on.
