Counting non blanks different from ""
My range contains cells, say B11:B50 with formulas; some of them
return numbers, some others text and still some others nulls (blanks or ""). I want to count the number of non blank cells in the range, but the formula =COUNTA(B11:B50) always returns 40 because "" are not considered blanks. Is there any alternative formula that I can use for my purpose? Thank you |

Hi,
You can also use this formula. COUNTA(range)-COUNTBLANK(range) -- Regards, Ashsih Mathur Microsoft Excel MVP www.ashishmathur.com "vsoler" wrote in message ...
