Default How do I count cells in spreadsheet that are not empty?

I am creating rosters of students and would like to find out two things:

How do I count all of the cells that are filled in (omitting those that are
empty)?

I'm integrating information from another system that is not compatible, so I
would like to eliminate the duplicated student names monthly. Is there a way
to use the COUNTIF function to "throw out" names so that I count each student
only once?

Thanks

I think that is what you want.
