What commands do I use to tell Excel to only count the cells that have a
number in date format?

I don't want Excel to count my "blanks". I want it to ignore them. I
only
want to count cells that have dates in them.

Countblank(range)
actually does count blank as well as empty cells

Here's what I'm attempting to do: For each column, X,Y, Z, I am
attempting
to count nonblanks. However, the data was imported from Access
and
Oracle,
and Excel treats what appear to be blank cells as nonblanks. I've
tested
this theory by highlighting a couple of "blank" cells and deleting
them, and
my count changes. So, can I get Excel to put a value into my
"blank"
cells,
so then I could filter it out, or create a formula that would only
count
dates in my columns (which is what I'm after).

This is what I'm looking at:

A B C
1 2/4/2006 2/6/2006 ("blank")
2 ("blank") 12/13/2005 1/7/2006
3 2/20/2006 1/15/2006 ("blank")

In each column if I use a COUNTA I'll get a total of 3, instead of
2
for A,
3 for B and 1 for C. Any ideas?
