Rows() Function


The Excel ROWS function returns the count of rows in a given reference. For example, ROWS(A1:A3) returns 3, since the range A1:A3 contains 3 columns.


Syntax

The syntax for the ROWS function in Microsoft Excel is:

=ROWS ( reference )

reference

A reference to a range of cells or an array.

Rows Function Examples

The following spreadsheet shows three simple examples of the Excel Rows function.

Formulas:


A
1
=ROWS( B1 )
2
=ROWS( B1:E5 )
3
=ROWS( B:B )

Results:


A
1
1
2
5
3
1048576
                Note that the above functions were calculated in Excel 2010. Therefore, the formula in cell A3 (which returns the number of rows in the whole of column B of the spreadsheet) returns the value 1,048,576, as this is the number of rows in Excel 2010. If this example were run in Excel 2003, it would return the number 65,536.
