Default count the presence of a date as 1

I am building a sales tracking chart which includes a date when an item is
sold. I need to count the number of sales based on whether or not a date has
been entered.

I'm pretty sure we'll need at least some of the details!

Dates are numbers that are formatted nicely in excel.

If the range only consists of numbers (just dates (no other numbers like money,
times...), non-numeric text or empty cells, you could use a formula like:

=count(a2:a10)
