COUNTA() counts these pseudo-empty cells. If you want to exclude them from a
tally, use COUNT() instead.

Good morning. In formulas i typically use a false value of "" to present or
store the result as a 'blank' cell. When i copy and paste the value of the
formulas and counta or countif range 0, Excel counts this cell. Should i
be using something other than "" if my result is false and want the cell to
be empty/truly blank?
