It's not real clear what you want to do.

See if this does what you want.

=COUNTBLANK(B1:B100)

That will count *both* empty cells and cells that contain formula blanks
within the range.

Can you use the 'or' with a countif to count blanks -- if so can you tell
me
how?
For example trying to count blanks in a column of data where the range,
eg.,
b1:b100 is blank. ..criteria is something like <A or <1.
