How to use AREAS function

Let's look at the syntax.

AREAS(reference)

Well, not a complicated function. An area is a range of contiguous cells or a single cell. For example AREAS(B1) = 1 and AREAS(B1:B10) =1. Please note whether the cell contains a value or not will not change the outcome of the results. 

If we use multiple reference then the result will count of the references, for example AREAS((B2,B3,B11)) = 3.

There is another use of this function, which actually uses the " contiguous" part.




There are two lists, list1 and list2 in the worksheet. In this case AREAS will give the number of overlapping cells.

AREAS(list1 list2) = 6
