Assuming the range of cells is set in a declared variable called "myRange", to put the cell count of myRange in the cell immediately above the first cell of myRange :-
myRange(0, 1) = myRange.Rows.Count
OR
myRange(0, 1) = myRange.Cells.Count

If you were also enquiring on how to set the range, the following will count the cells from A2 to the last non-empty cell in Column A, and put the count in cell A1 :-
Dim myRange As Range
Set myRange = Range(Range("A2"), Range("A65536").End(xlUp))
myRange(0, 1) = myRange.Cells.Count
