Hi

you can use the countblank function
=COUNTBLANK(A1:A10)
to count the number of blanks and then add that result to the count of
unique entries

Greetings,

I have a list of about 2 k entries that I need to get a count of
unique numbers in column D. The twist, there are a few entries that
are blank. I need to count each blank entry as a unique entry and add
that number to the rest of the unique entries for column D.

I read the article at http://www.cpearson.com/excel/duplicat.htm, but
it did not address counting each blank as a unique entry only NOT
counting the blanks or counting all of the blanks as duplicates of
themselves.

Is there anyway to count each blank as a separate entry along with all
of the other non duplicating entries?

Any help would be most appreciated.

CIA
