counting entries
 

Ar Bs Ec Ar Bs Ec
B A C B B

I am trying to count entries for the data above. The 1st 3 columns are equal
to 1 entry each, and the last 3 columns are equal to half an entry. I want to
count the total no of entries. So for the above the result would be 2.5.
Column 4 and 6 would be discounted because column 1 and 3 have a grade in
there.

Not sure how to start, would be grateful for help.

Thanks

i would do counta(a2:c2) which would give 2. BUt i then need it to not count
column 4 and 6 as column 1 and 3 have got data in there, but count column 5
as 1 and then divide by 2 to get half an entry.

How about this:

=COUNTA(A2:C2)+0.5*SUMPRODUCT(--(ISTEXT(D2:F2)),--(ISBLANK(A2:C2)))
