Default =sign(--counta(range)) not working righ t
A formula such as =IF(A110,"","OK") will display nothing when A1 is greater
than 10
If this is in the range A2:D2 then =COUNTA(A2:D2) will return 1, even if all
the cells in the range look blank
best wishes

I have been using the above function for the purpose of
telling me if there is any data in range (row of cells)

For some reason the function is still producing a 1
even with no vavlues numbers or chacters in the range.
I have tried several cell formats and for some resaon it
is not work, well sometime yes and sometime no

any suggestions
