For example, if you run a macro once a week to perform a particular task, but don’t want it run more than once a week, having a counter might be helpful.

Copy all of the code below. Paste it into your workbook’s Visual Basic editor, either under a Microsoft Excel Object or Module. You can also add other macro commands after the “Range(“A1″) = macrocount” line. This will allow you to count how many times those macro commands have been run.
