How can I make this work? I want the answer to be a number.

Column D contains individual names
Column G contains certain criteria.
I can count the criteria in column G with countif, but I only want it to
total if column D contains text data. For an example,
If d17 has no data, do not count what is in G17.

IDEAS???
