need help with a formula
I have a column that data will be entered in and I need to have a cell that
will increase numerically with the number of cells that have a number in it in the column. for example there are five cells with data. the summary cell should say 5 when I enter another cell of data the summary cell should change to 6 |

Hi,
in excel 2007 if the data is in column A =COUNT(A:A) If you don't have excel 2007 use =COUNT(A1:A1000) If this was helpful please say yes. thank you "LJ" wrote: I have a column that data will be entered in and I need to have a cell that will increase numerically with the number of cells that have a number in it in the column. for example there are five cells with data. the summary cell should say 5 when I enter another cell of data the summary cell should change to 6 |
