Use the COUNTA() function, i.e.,

=COUNTA(A1:A30000)

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
