count - but exclude counting cells with a formula
Thank you for the help.
this the test formula I tried:
=COUNTA(A1:A11)-COUNT(A1:A10)
A3 is the only cell that contains a text value
the formula returned 11
when it should have only returned 1
the formula seems to count all the cells containing a formula and adds any
that has a value returned by them
this the formula

Assume that you are having value in A Column Like this..
A Column
ABC
DEF
5646
ZYX
65466
Try this formula in B1 cell for finding the Text Values from A1:A5.
=COUNTA(A1:A5)-COUNT(A1:A5)
=COUNTA(A1:A5) will count the Total number cells which is having any value
from A1:A5
=COUNT(A1:A5) will count the Total number of cells which is having the
Numeric Values from A1:A5
But the Counta function will count the cells which is having only the space
also.

What formula do I need to count a range where the cells contain a formula.
The cell range formula returns a text value.
example:
A1:A10 contain a formula that will return a text result
A11 contains a formula to return the number of cells that have a result in
in A1:A10 Any formulas I have tried count the formulas also.
