How to calculate the number of non-zero cells in range?
I would like to count the number of non-zero (=non-blank) cells in a range (say D9:D30).
How can I do this with an Excel formula ? Claudia |

COUNTA will count all non-blank cells............text or numeric.
COUNT will count all numeric cells. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On 28 Jul 2009 21:30:25 GMT, (Claudia d'Amato) wrote: I would like to count the number of non-zero (=non-blank) cells in a range (say D9:D30). How can I do this with an Excel formula ? Claudia |

Do any of the cells contain formula blanks?
Try one of these (accounts for formula blanks): =SUMPRODUCT(--(LEN(D9:D30)0)) =ROWS(D9:D30)-COUNTBLANK(D9:D30) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Claudia d'Amato" wrote in message ...

Here is one that will account for either blanks or zeros. I wasn't
clear from the original question if we need to exclude both. =SUMPRODUCT((NOT(ISBLANK(D9:D30))*1)*(NOT(D9:D30=0 )*1)) |

Your solution is NOT working, if a cell contains a formula!
So if a cell contains e.g.=SUM(A5:A15) then is cell is non-blank and counts as 1. But this is not intended. If the formula evaluates to 0 then this cell should NOT count. I need a solution which evaluates any possibly existing formulas at first and then checks if the cell is non-blank/non-zero. Any other solutions than COUNTA() for this task?

This function will count non-blanks:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A20<"")) Note, Enter as Ctrl + Shift + Enter, not just Enter This will count blanks: =COUNTIF(A1:A20,"") Normal Enter This will count values 0: =SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A200)) Note, Enter as Ctrl + Shift + Enter, not just Enter Just for fun...this will count zeros: =COUNTIF(A1:A20,0) Normal Enter HTH, Ryan--- -- Ryan--- If this information was helpful, please indicate this by clicking ''Yes''.
