Count
Folks:
I have a single column of information. Only SOME of the cells within this column contain a string of alphabetic characters. Some cells are empty. For example: Column A ABC ZEP POW ZAP * What Excel command would allow me to count the # of cells that actually contain alphabetic information within a certain range like A2:A100 Thanks, John. |

Count
If those empty cells are really empty, then you could use:
=counta(a2:a100) to count the non-empty cells. Cells with Text, Numbers, and even formulas that evaluate to "" will be counted. JoJo wrote: Folks: I have a single column of information.

If some have numbers:
=COUNTIF(A1:A100,"*") That will count any cell with text in it. "JoJo" wrote: Folks: I have a single column of information.
