Count total clicks in a specified cell with VBA code

Please do as follows to count total clicks in a specified cell in Excel.

1. In the worksheet contains the cell you need to count its total clicks, right-click the sheet tab, and then click View Code from the context menu.

2. In the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window, please copy and paste below VBA code into the Code window.

VBA code: Count total clicks in a specified cell in Excel

Public xRgS, xRgD As Range
Public xNum As Long
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
    On Error Resume Next
    If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
    Set xRgS = Range("E2")
    If xRgS Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    Set xRgD = Range("H2")
    If xRgD Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    If Intersect(xRgS, Target) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    xNum = xNum + 1
    xRgD.Value = xNum
End Sub

Note: In the code, E2 is the cell you need to count its total clicks, and H2 is the output cell of the counting. Please change them as you need.

3. Press the Alt + Q keys to close the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window.

From now on, when clicking on cell E2 in this specified worksheet, the total clicks will be auto-populated in cell H2 as below screenshot shown. For example, if you click on the cell E2 5 times, number 5 will be displayed in cell H2.

    Hi, I'm trying to find a way of counting the number of times 20 different cells are being clicked (each one should be counted separately). I came across your VBA code suggestion, tried to adjust it to my specific needs but it won't work. can you please advise how the code should be written? the cells that I would like to count and the cells that the values should appear in are: F12>AU12, F13>AU13, G12>AV12, G13>AV13, H10>AW10, H11>AW11, H12>AW12, H13>AW13, H14>AW14, H15>AW15, I10>AX10, I11>AX11, I12>AX12, I13>AX13, I14>AX14, I15>AX15, J12>AY12, J13>AY13, K12>AZ12, K13>AZ13).
    This is the VBA code I've tried with no success:

    Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
    Dim xRgArray As Variant
    Dim xNum
    Dim xStrR, xStrS, xStrD As String
    Dim xRgS, xRgD As Range

    Dim xFNum As Long
    xRgArray = Array("F12,AU12", "F13,AU13", "G12,AV12", "G13,AV13", "H10,AW10", "H11,AW11", "H12,AW12", "H13,AW13", "H14,AW14", "H15,AW15", "I10,AX10", "I11,AX11", "I12,AX12", "I13,AX13", "I14,AX14", "I15,AX15", "J12,AY12", "J13,AY13", "K12,AZ12", "K13,AZ13")
    On Error Resume Next
    If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
    For xFNum = LBound(xRgArray) To UBound(xRgArray)
    xStrR = xRgArray(xFNum)
    xStrS = ""
    xStrS = Left(xStrR, 2)
    xStrD = ""
    xStrD = Right(xStrR, 2)
    Set xRgS = Nothing
    Set xRgS = Range(xStrS)
    If TypeName(xRgS) <> "Nothing" Then
    Set xRgD = Nothing
    Set xRgD = Range(xStrD)
    If TypeName(xRgD) <> "Nothing" Then
    If TypeName(Intersect(xRgS, Target)) <> "Nothing" Then
    xRgD.Value = xRgD.Value + 1
    End If
    End If
    End If
    Next
    End Sub

    Thank you in advance, for your help.

    Can you provide a code that allows counting clicks from A2, B2 cells through A14, B14 cells. Thanks in advance.

      Hi Barbara,
      Do you mean counting the total clicks in range A2:B14? Or clicks for each cell in range A2:B14?

    Hola
    Hay alguna manera de programar el conteo de clicks de acuerdo a la fecha, es decir programar varias celdas para que cuenten con la fecha del día?

    Hello, there is a way to back the counting for any number that I want? For exemple: I'd made 5 clicks, but i just wanted 3. So I change the number in the cell to 3, and when I click again, it continue from 3.
    Thank for the code!

    Thank you for the code, very useful.
    I'm not a programmer and I would like to know how to extend this process to every line. That is to say, not only E2>H2 but also E3>H3, E4>H4, and so on.
    Is there a code for this?


    Thank you in advance!

      Hi Guido,

      The below VBA code can help you to solve the problem. Please have a try. Thanks for your comment.
      Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
      Dim xRgArray As Variant
      Dim xNum
      Dim xStrR, xStrS, xStrD As String
      Dim xRgS, xRgD As Range

      Dim xFNum As Long
      xRgArray = Array("E2,H2", "E3,H3", "E4,H4", "E5,H5", "E6,H6")
      On Error Resume Next
      If Target.Cells.count > 1 Then Exit Sub
      For xFNum = LBound(xRgArray) To UBound(xRgArray)
      xStrR = xRgArray(xFNum)
      xStrS = ""
      xStrS = Left(xStrR, 2)
      xStrD = ""
      xStrD = Right(xStrR, 2)
      Set xRgS = Nothing
      Set xRgS = Range(xStrS)
      If TypeName(xRgS) <> "Nothing" Then
      Set xRgD = Nothing
      Set xRgD = Range(xStrD)
      If TypeName(xRgD) <> "Nothing" Then
      If TypeName(Intersect(xRgS, Target)) <> "Nothing" Then
      xRgD.Value = xRgD.Value + 1
      End If
      End If
      End If
      Next
      End Sub

        Thanks for this. I tried and it worked, however it only worked only until certain number of cells, how can we extend this code until the end of the cells? for example i type in this code below and it only works until "G9,G9". Thanks

        xRgArray = Array("C4,C4", "D4,D4", "E4,E4", "F4,F4", "G4,G4", "C6,C6", "D6,D6", "E6,E6", "F6,F6", "G6,G6", "C7,C7", "D7,D7", "E7,E7", "F7,F7", "G7,G7", "C8,C8", "D8,D8", "E8,E8", "F8,F8", "G8,G8", "C9,C9", "D9,D9", "E9,E9", "F9,F9", "G9,G9", "C10,C10", "D10,D10", "E10,E10", "F10,F10", "G10,G10", "C11,C11", "D11,D11", "E11,E11", "F11,F11", "G11,G11", "C14,C14", "D14,D14", "E14,E14", "F14,F14", "G14,G14", "C15,C15", "D15,D15", "E15,E15", "F15,F15", "G15,G15", "C16,C16", "D16,D16", "E16,E16", "F16,F16", "G16,G16", "C17,C17", "D17,D17", "E17,E17", "F17,F17", "G17,G17", "C18,C18", "D18,D18", "E18,E18", "F18,F18", "G18,G18", "C20,C20", "D20,D20", "E20,E20", "F20,F20", "G20,G20")

          Hi Ruth,
          The code is hard to optimized for meeting your needs. Sorry about that.

    How can you "reset" the counter?
    • To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.

      Dear Dennis,
      Please add the below VBA code at the end of the original code. Every time you run this code, the counting will be reset to 0. Thank you for your comment.

      Sub ClearCount()
      xRgD.Value = ""
      xNum = 0
      End Sub
