I need to get stats on ~ 600 work books. I am trying to determine from a list of workbooks; how many cells are occupied, how many have formula and how many are constants. I cant seem to figure out an efficient way of getting that info. I am OK with VBA and have built some reasonable routines. is there any way to nest countif(isformula(all worksheets in the filepath referenced in the cell to the left)) and similarly countA(all cells in the same file)

Thanks

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Hi

Your best bet would be to open the workbooks and loop thru the worksheets in each one and apply the SpecialCells method to each worksheet's usedarea. This isn't infallible, but unless you really have truly humongous files with thousands of non-contiguous formula/constant cells it should work.

I'll give it a go. It will take me some time to build so I can't be as instantly gratifying as your reply.
Thanks regardless and I will post back my success or failure.

Thanks Richard you put me on a very direct path and I was amazed at how simple it turned out to be.
I'm sure this has is buggy as I am not even close to a programmer. None the less this is what I came up with and it does what I need it to.

The weird name is because this is more of a mockup I used to figure out how to get the data I want. I'm sure there are better ways to do it as illustrated by the file system call for the file size and then opening the workbook anyway to get other info.
My pride is in that I saved myself some time not in the quality of my programming. Maybe someone else will post a link to some better code, cause I can't be the first or last that needs to do this sort of thing.
