I would say it shoud be COUNTA rather than COUNTIF. Try something like:

=COUNTA(A:A)

to count non-empty cells in the column [A]

I've got numerous spreadsheets containing approx. 30K rows of data, with
blank rows used to seperate groups of data.

I need to count how many rows contain data, without counting the blank
rows.

I think it's probably a COUNT IF function, but I'm not sure.

I'm not a very advanced user, so please be very specific in your reply.

Thank You
