count function
 

I want to count cells going across but do not want to count that cell if it
is blank or has a 0
Example =count(e4:I4) the answer returns 5 however in cell f there is no
data so the answere should be 4. how can i write a formula so if the cell is
blank or has 0 it does not count that cell.

thanks

count function
 

Try this:

=COUNTIF(E4:I4,"<") - COUNTIF(E4:I4,0)

The first term will ignore blanks and the second term will count the
zeros and subtract them.

Hope this helps.
