I have a spreadsheet which contains rows of client data. The clients at the
top of the sheet are the active clients, and are separated from those at the
bottom (non active) by a blank row.

Can anyone help me with a formula which will give the number of active
clients i.e. by identifying the row of the topmost blank cell in column A.

Many thanks,

This **array-entered** formula will return a value indicating the first blank
cell in the range:

=MATCH(TRUE,ISBLANK(E:E),0)

You could subtract 1 (or 2 if you have a header row in the range) to get your
number of clients.
