Counta() doesn't count empty strings (nulls)

What do you consider to be an empty string?

A1: ="" (empty string)
A2: x
A3: <empty

=COUNTA(A1:A3)

=2

Counta() doesn't count empty strings (nulls).. so should work as is.

If you mean blanks (as in space bar used in the cell) then try:

=COUNTA(G$5:G$7)-COUNTIF($G$5:$G$7," ")=1
