Default Countif

I am trying to count the number of cells that have a number in it. I would
suspect that the COUNTIF function would be the one but how can I get to count
only if the cell contains a number (the numbers will all be different)

COUNT function counts numbers only.

COUNTA functions counts non-blank cells.
