Is there a way to count blank cells (within a specific column of data)
excluding the cells found in rows that are not populated?

I need to count the blank cells so that action can be taken to correct them.
When I try the following formula it counts all blank cells including the
blanks in rows that are not populated. Hard to explain ... hope I made some
sense. The formula I'm using is as follows:

=SUMPRODUCT(('DATA (RAW)'!BH2:BH5000="")
*('DATA (RAW)'!N2:N5000<"SUPPORT REQUEST")
*('DATA (RAW)'!N2:N5000<"WORK ORDER")
*('DATA (RAW)'!AQ2:AQ5000<"EMEA")
*('DATA (RAW)'!AQ2:AQ5000<"CALA")
*('DATA (RAW)'!AQ2:AQ5000<"NA"))
