Default Counting non-blank cells

Joe M.

your question is quite tricky...

=IF(B8=B9,"",B9)


if your data range along column B (eg) B8:B18
maybe u can modify the quick count somekinda this way...

=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEN(B9:B18)0))

*exclude the first cell on the range which is B* in this example...

I have a column with cells that contain the results of a formula:
=IF(B8=B9,"",B9)
In some cases the value is blank (""), in others the value is filled. When I
try to count the values using COUNTA, the resulting count includes the cells
where the formula result is "". How do I count only the cells that have a
value other than ""?

Thanks,
