How to Count Rows in Table Using VBA (With Example)

You can use the following syntax to count the number of rows in a table in Excel using VBA:

Sub CountTableRow()

Dim tbl As ListObject

'specify table to count rows in
Set tbl = ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table1")

'create message box that displays row count
MsgBox "Total Rows: " & tbl.Range.Rows.Count & vbNewLine & _
       "Header Rows: " & tbl.HeaderRowRange.Rows.Count & vbNewLine & _
       "Body Rows: " & tbl.ListRows.Count

'set tbl variable to Nothing
Set tbl = Nothing

End Sub

This particular example counts the following number of rows for the table in the active sheet called Table1:

Total number of rows
Total number of header rows
Total number of body rows

We use the MsgBox function to create a message box that displays each of these values in one message box.

Note: We use the vbNewLine statement to insert new lines and create a message box with multiple lines.

The following example shows how to use this syntax in practice.

Example: How to Count Rows in Table Using VBA

We can create the following macro to count the number of rows in this table:

Sub CountTableRow()

Dim tbl As ListObject

'specify table to count rows in
Set tbl = ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table1")

'create message box that displays row count
MsgBox "Total Rows: " & tbl.Range.Rows.Count & vbNewLine & _
       "Header Rows: " & tbl.HeaderRowRange.Rows.Count & vbNewLine & _
       "Body Rows: " & tbl.ListRows.Count

'set tbl variable to Nothing
Set tbl = Nothing

End Sub
