Default Count if does not equal

If you want to count the non-blank cells that do not contain a given value,
use

=COUNTA(A1:B10)-COUNTIF(A1:B10,C1)

This will not count blank cells.

If you want to include blank cells in the count, use

=(ROWS(A1:B10)*COLUMNS(A1:B10))-COUNTIF(A1:B10,C1)

In both formula, change A1:B10 to your actual range of data.
