Try COUNTA which counts 'non empty' cells in the range, rather than cells
with just numbers, as your account 'numbers' may not be, or be seen as such
by Excel

I wanted to use the "count" function to total a column of account numbers.
I
used =Count(A9:A188) but the result is "0". Am I not using the correct
function?
