What is the formula use to count text cells
Assuming your data is in A2:A100
then =COUNTA(A2:A1100) will give you the count of non-empty cells and =COUNT(A2:A1100) will give you the count of cells with numbers so =COUNTA(A2:A1100) - COUNT(A2:A1100) will give you the count of cells containing only TEXT "allicat" wrote: Member Name & Company James W.

One method
Count all cells then subtract the number cells. =COUNTA(A1:A7)-COUNT(A1:A7) Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Wed, 20 May 2009 12:43:09 -0700, allicat wrote: Member Name & Company James W.

This will count only text cells:
=COUNTIF(A:A,"*") You should take note that this will also count "nulls" ( "" ) (zero length strings), which may be returned by formulas since XL considers these as TEXT. -- HTH, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "allicat" wrote in message ...
