In C4 put the formula =counta(B2:B3) This will count all the cells from B2 to
B3 that have text in the cell, if you want to count a specific value then you can use the countif function. Zeb "jenny" wrote: Hi, In would like to know please, if I fill in cells with text, how can I make each of them them count numeric in another cell. i.e B2 james, B3 julia, C4= 2 |

( So it will also count if the contents in the cells is numeric.) Regards, Bondi |

To count non-blank (filled with anything) cells:
=CountA(B:B) To count only numbers: =Count(B:B) To count only text: =Countif(B:B,"*?") -- HTH, RD ================================================== === Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ================================================== === "jenny" wrote in message ...
