I am using excel 2007 and I am creating a macro that will count the number of
account numbers in a column. The problem is that the account numbers are
stored as text not number. This prevents the count() function from working.
Is there a way to get this accomplished.

Thanks!
 
Try COUNTA instead of COUNT. COUNTA counts non-blank cells, not just numbers.
To use COUNTA in a macro you will have to refer to it like this:
Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(etc.)
since it is a worksheet function, not a VBA function.

Hope this helps,

Hutch
 
Yes, that works. Thanks!
