It worked! Thanks very much.

No do not replace "--"
just copy the formula offered and paste it as it is...
=sumproduct(--isnumber(a2:a500))
IT WILL WORK.

Didn't work. Still yields a zero.
I assume you intended me to replace the "--" with the A2:A500 range.
Also, not sure why you're suggesting the use of SUMPRODUCT, since all I
want
to do is count the cells.
What am I missing? Please say more.

Hello, all:
I have a column of about 500 cells, some of which contain numbers, some
contain blanks, and some contain the word "none". I want to put a
formula
in
the cell at the top of the colum which counts ONLY those cells which
contain
numbers.
Is there a specific function which will recognize only numbers?
Failing
that, I assume a COUNTIF is in order.
I tried this:
=COUNTIF(A2:A500,AND("<""","<none"))
but it yields a zero. I've also tried variations moving around and
eliminating the double quotes but I can't get it to work.
Any suggestions? Help is appreciated. Thanks,
MARTY
