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.

    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


        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("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")
        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

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

    How can you "reset" the counter?

      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
