counting blanks in a non-consecutive range
I need to be able to count the number of blank cells in a range, but my range
is made up of non-consecutive cells, ie B2, D2, F2, H2. I have tried naming the range 'actual' and then using =COUNTBLANK(actual) but I get #VALUE! I have also tried =COUNTBLANK(B2,D2,F2,H2) but it will not accept the formula. Any suggestions? |

counting blanks in a non-consecutive range
Maybe:-
=SUM(IF(ISBLANK(B2),1,0)+IF(ISBLANK(D2),1,0)+IF(IS BLANK(F2),1,0)+IF(ISBLANK(H2),1,0)) Enter with Ctrl+shift+enter Mike "jenniebentham" wrote: I need to be able to count the number of blank cells in a range, but my range is made up of non-consecutive cells, ie B2, D2, F2, H2.

counting blanks in a non-consecutive range
Try this:
=SUMPRODUCT((COLUMN(B2:H2)={2;4;6;8})*ISBLANK(B2:H 2)) Does that help? -------------------------- Regards, Ron (XL2003, Win XP) Microsoft MVP (Excel) "jenniebentham" wrote in message ...
