Yes, on re-reading the OP's post you are quite right - I got it wrong! :-(

My appologies.

I assumed that's what the OP wanted. I read his question as to count cells
that are not blank,
whether it is from the cell being empty or from it having a formula
returning a blank

=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEN(A1:A10)0))

Doesn't that return 0 for cells with "" in them?

I was going to post:

=COUNTBLANK(A1:A10)-COUNTIF(A1:A10,"*")

or

=COUNTIF(A1:A10,"=")

or the array entered:

=SUM(--ISBLANK(A1:A10))

But I was trying to work out if Harlan would come along and point out
where they would fail as well.
