cell totals
Hi,
I have a spreadsheet that has data in Column A Rows 1, 4, 5, 7 & 9. The data within rows 1, 4 & 5 are numbers the data within rows 7 & 9 are text. Rows 2, 3, 6 & 8 are blank. I want to count the total number of cells that have information in it regardless of if it's text or numeric (of course not count the number of blank cells) so the answer would be 5 is there a formula that can do that? does this make sense? Thanks Lynn |
