Default formula 4 number of cells/rows in a range

i am trying to figure out two formula's
1. a formula to place the number of rows in a range into another cell. ie. ?
rows in range A38:C97 to be put into cell A5...

2. as above but how many cells instead of rows, but.. the cells can be both
blank and with content in it ... i thought of =countblank() and =counta() but
i dont know how i can add them???

=ROWS(A38:C97)

=COUNTA(A38:C97)+COUNTBLANK(A38:C97)

The COUNTA ... COUNTBLANK method can double-count if say one cell contains a
formula that returns "", so maybe

=ROWS(A38:C7)*COLUMNS(A38:C97)
