    Counting active cells after modification

    I have a cell that needs to count the number of occupied cells that can vary based on user needs.

    For example, user enters additional columns into the sheet by putting text in first row. I need to count the number of cells they modify and put that number in a specific cell.

    How could I capture this? Could I use a formula? Or trap some kind of event in VBA? Any other suggested approaches?

    You can't just use COUNTA?

    I guess it all depends on what you are actually capturing that number for.

    Use code tags when posting your VBA code: [code] Your code here [/code]

    CountA looks like what I need. I wasn't aware of that function. Thanks Domski.
