Examples

As the below screenshot shows, to calculate the number of sheets in different references, please do as follows:

1. To know the total number of sheets of the workbook, please copy the formula below into cell D5, then press the Enter key to get the result.

=SHEETS ( )

2.To know the rest of the results, please copy the formulas below into cell D6, D7, and D8, then press the Enter key to get the results.

=SHEETS (Sheet5!A1 )

=SHEETS (Sheet5:Sheet4!A1)

=SHEETS (Sheet5:Sheet3!A1 )

Notes:

1. In the first formula above, the reference argument is omitted. The formula returns the total number of sheets in the workbook.
2. In the second formula above, the reference argument is cell A1 in Sheet5. It can also be any other cell, like B10 in Sheet5. And the returned result is 1 because only one sheet is in the reference.
3. In the third formula above, the reference argument is a 3D reference. The formula returns the number of sheets from Sheet5 to Sheet4, which is 2.
