Default COUNTA()

My formula =IF(T2=1/1/2006,"D",IF(T2="","")) displays the D but COUNTA
totals all the formulae and not the values?

=COUNTIF(X:X,"D")

Default COUNTA()

Use COUNT(range)-COUNTBLANK(range)

If you look at the help for the COUNTA function you'll find that it does
count empty text (""), but not a totally empty cell.
