Count problem
I have a list of countries all in their own rows. I would like to count the
number of countries I have how do I do so? I tried the below, however I only have back 0. Does this formula work with letters? "you can use =count(a1:a100), if counties appear from cell a1 downwards" Thank you |

Count problem
Count counts numbers. As you have text, you need Counta, as in:
=counta(a1:a100) or, more simply: =counta(a:a) Regards, Fred "PL" wrote in message ... I have a list of countries all in their own rows.
