n number of triangles
4 1
5 3
6 7

17 308
18 372
19 444
20 525

 For n = 4 To 20
  ct = 0
  For a = 2 To n - 2
    For b = a + 1 To n - 1
      For c = b + 1 To n
       If c < a + b Then
         ct = ct + 1
       End If
       DoEvents
      Next
    Next
  Next
  Text1.Text = Text1.Text & n & Str(ct) & crlf
 Next

This is the OEIS's A002623
