Thanks

I did just that
In my case it's " =COUNTA(A2:A1293)"
I then dragged this formula along the bottom of each column
Despite some columns have less data than in col a, all columns show
the same result 1292
How can this be?

=COUNTA(A2:A200)

will count everything except blanks

post back if you have numbers as well that
should not be counted
