Hi Rubber,

If the blank cells with a formula in them has the value of zero, use COUNTA
to count the cells and COUNTIF to count the zero values in each range, then
subtract the two.

=COUNTA(F12:F17)-COUNTIF(F12:F17,0)

or fully

=COUNTA(F12:F17)-COUNTIF(F12:F17,0)+COUNTA(g23:g30)-COUNTIF(g23:g30,0)+COUNTA(h5:h10)-COUNTIF(h5:h10,0)
