Counting mixed formats in a column
I have one column of date. In it is data of the type -
12345 15689 12458A C55897 and some blank cells. I want to count the number of cells that are not blank whatever they contain (i.e. whether they are pure numbers or text/numbers or numbers/text. Can you provide a formula for this. Thanks |

Counting mixed formats in a column
=count(a:a)
will count the number of cells that contain numbers (including dates and times!) =counta(a:a) will count the cells that contain anything--including formulas that evaluate to ="" (that look blank). =countblank(a:a) will count the number of cells that are empty or look blank (evaluate to ="").
