Use the COUNTA( ) function - Excel help gives details of its use.

Hope this helps.

An option to try if you have formula cells in the col which may return
"blanks", ie:"", and these formula returns are to be treated the same way as
real empty cells in the col is to use something like in say, C1:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(B1:B20<""))
Adapt the range to suit. Note that SUMPRODUCT can't accept entire col refs.
