Default How do i count Text in the Cells, but not formulas.


In column A:A
I have names, but these names are a result of a formula.. When I use counta
it counts the names plus the "blank" rows that fallow which contain a
formula.

How can i have it count only names not formulas.

Thanx in advance.
