@Christine – try the following ExtendScript (JavaScript):
if(app.selection.length === 0
    || !app.selection[0].constructor.name === "Cell"
    || !app.selection[0].constructor.name === "Table"){
    exit(0);
var sel = app.selection[0];
if(sel.constructor.name === "Cell"){
    var tableRowLength = sel.parent.rows.everyItem().getElements().length;
if(sel.constructor.name === "Table"){
    alert("All "+sel.rows.everyItem().getElements().length+" rows selected in current table." );
    exit(0);
var numberOfRowsSelected = sel.rows.length;
var indexOfSelectedRows = sel.rows.everyItem().index;
var startRowSel = indexOfSelectedRows[0]+1;
var endRowSel = indexOfSelectedRows.length+indexOfSelectedRows[0];
alert(numberOfRowsSelected +" row(s) selected.\r"+startRowSel+" to "+endRowSel+" out of "+tableRowLength+" of current table.");
You need not select whole rows, just one or a couple of cells.
Then run the script.
An alert message is telling you how many rows belong to the cell range you have selected and:
which rows of the table are selected…
A typical message would be:
6 row(s) selected.
3 to 8 out of 20 of current table.
The script does some basic checks of the selection.
If no cell or table is selected, it will just do nothing…
