i want to be able to count cells within a range that are non blank or have a
value in them.

i am able to count all cells by doing

ncells = range("a1","120").cells.count

is there a similar code that will count the cells which only have a value in
them.

the only way i can think of doing this is either a loop and selecting each
cell within the range or by using the counta function within excel itself.

thank you in advance
