How about
=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEN(B13:B20)0),--(B13:B20<0))

Hope this helps,

Hi,

My series B13:B20 contains zero's and text values. I wish to count the text
values but not zero's or blanks.

I have tried the following as an array but its counting all cells in range
with the result = 8 which is not correct (as there are zeros and balnks in
the series).

=COUNTA(IF(B13:B20<0,"A",0))

Any ideas?
