Assuming the values are all numeric, ie no text values, try
=COUNTIF(A1:A100,"<"&0)

I want to tally the number of cells in a column that have non zero values.
The cout function seem to insist on counting zeros. THe bulk data has
plus
and minus values. I can separate them but I have to show a true or false
or
zero rahter than blank (I would prefer blank). So how can I tally the
entries
in each column with out counting zeros?
