Default Counta function question

I still don't see it. I cannot differentiate what goes in which column with
your data, and I have no idea what the * are.

Hi Bob,

I simplified the original detail so that only the relevant column and one
other were showing.

My spreadsheet runs from column A to H and will vary in number of rows but
is currently about 15000.

The data starts on row 22

ID Cost Center Veh Type Equipment Quantity Price unit

Amount
17 FG01/17AA Dennis Javelin 21053 4 315.37 £ 192.35
21064 18.000 EA 311.730 £ 407.36
Result 22.000 EA 627.100 £ 599.71
Dennis Lance 60987 * 332.790 £ 352.61
60988 63.000 EA 992.040 £ 1,301.75
61254 * 1,740.120 £ 2,184.32
67225 * 580.100 £ 552.76
Result * 3,645.050 £ 4,391.44
Leyland Lynx 62619 * 497.300 £ 396.69
62621 * 1,000.150 £ 1,152.65
62625 * 149.060 £ 169.35
Result * 1,646.510 £ 1,718.69
Leyland Tiger 22045 * 229.010 £ 198.95
Result * 229.010 £ 198.95

Hi Bob,

I've just deleted the data that I had at the top of my spreadsheet so

that
my data starts in row 2. The first two results calculate correctly

but
after
that it is incorrect.

Equipment Quantity Price unit Amount
21053 4.000 EA 315.370 £ 192.35
21064 18.000 EA 311.730 £ 407.36
Result 22.000 EA 627.100 £ 599.71 2
60987 * 332.790 £ 352.61
60988 63.000 EA 992.040 £ 1,301.75
61254 * 1,740.120 £ 2,184.32
67225 * 580.100 £ 552.76
Result * 3,645.050 £ 4,391.44 4
62619 * 497.300 £ 396.69
62621 * 1,000.150 £ 1,152.65
62625 * 149.060 £ 169.35
Result * 1,646.510 £ 1,718.69 8

Put this in C2 and copy down



=IF(A2="Result",ROW()-MAX(MIN(IF($A$1:$A1="Result",ROW($A$1:$A1))),1)-1,"")

which is an array formula, it should be committed with

Ctrl-Shift-Enter,
not
just Enter.

I have an extract of data that shows detail by item, then an

overall
result.
I want to use the counta function to count the number of non blank

entries
between each entry called result ie:

Equipment Amount Count
21053 192.35
21064 207.30
Result 2
60987 303.20
12156 97.20
30752 1426.67
Result 3

Can this be done?
