Count feature
 

I have Excel 2000. I have blank cells and cells with text data (not
numbers). I want to count the number of cells in a range that have data in
them and to have the blank cells not be counted. What is the function for
this?

Thanks!
Kathy

Kathy, use counta, like this, =COUNTA(A1:A10)
