That worked; however, I got a curve ball thrown at me. If there are "NA" in
the cell(s), I don't want to count them or the blanks; and then take the "NA"
out of the demoninator when caluculating percentages for that column.

Hi Bernie

Because you have a formula in the cell which pulls data from another sheet,
Counta is counting this.
As the results of the formula, when true, will be dates which will be serial
numbers, try
=COUNTIF(A:A,"0")

I have a spreadsheet with numerous columns of data containing dates linked
from other spreadsheets. I'm using the "counta" to count the rows
containing
data in each column, but my problem is every row is being counted whether
it
contains data or is blank.

Appreciate anyone's assistance in solving this.
