Dim xSRg As Range
Dim xURg As Range
Dim xRg As Range
Dim xHRg As Range
Dim xHypCount As Long
On Error Resume Next
Set xSRg = Application.InputBox("Select the range of cells from which you want to count hyperlinks", "Kutools for Excel", "", Type:=8)
If xSRg Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Set Where = Range("A1", Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
Set xURg = Application.Intersect(xSRg.Worksheet.UsedRange, xSRg)
xHypCount = 0

For Each xRg In xURg
If xRg.Hyperlinks.Count > 0 Then
      xHypCount = xHypCount + 1
      If xHRg Is Nothing Then
        Set xHRg = xRg
      Else
        Set xHRg = Application.Union(xHRg, xRg)
      End If
Else
    If InStr(LCase(xRg.Formula), LCase("HYPERLINK")) > 0 Then
        xHypCount = xHypCount + 1
        If xHRg Is Nothing Then
            Set xHRg = xRg
