Thanks Alan. Actually, I tried countif as well. Btw, I want the result is to
count the non-blank cells rather than the blank cells and because the blank
cells actually contain formulas, so it doesn't allow me to ignore the blank
cells. I tried to use countif(A1:A20,<" ") but unsuccessful too. Hope you
can find another solution for me, thanks!

Regards, Fiona

correctly,
=COUNTIF(A1:A20,"")
Obviously adjust the range to suit your needs,
