AREAS
Returns the number of areas in a given reference.
Syntax:
AREAS(reference)
- reference may consist of multiple ranges. AREAS returns the count of these ranges.
- This is mostly useful with a named reference; multiple ranges may be entered from Insert → Names → Define… by manually concatenating ranges in the Assigned To box.
Example:
AREAS(A5:B7)
- returns 1. The reference A5:B7 is a single range.
AREAS(myref)
- where you have defined myref in Insert → Names → Define… to be two ranges (eg by entering $A$1:$A$3;$C$1:$C$4 in the Assigned To box), returns 2.
