count nonblank cells
I have a column B9:B100 on Sheet 1 in Excel 2007 in which each cell includes
a formula (=Sheet2!A9). The results of a search appear on Sheet2, then appear on Sheet1. (I had to do this cause I learned I could not use an array formula in cells that have been merged.) Anyway, the column on Sheet1 may contain numbers/text, and some appear blank because I replaced the 0s and #N/A with a blank. So, for example, after a search, there may be numbers/text that appear in B9:B15, and then B16:B100 are "blank" even though they still contain the formula copying text/numbers from Sheet2. I want to count how many nonblank cells there are to show how many matches were foind. None of the counting functions work (e.g., COUNT, COUNTA, COUNTBLANK, etc.) because I am assuming Excel still sees that a cell, although appearing blank, still contains a formula, so its not technically blank. So, if numbers/text that appear in B9:B15, and then B16:B100 are "blank", I tried =COUNTA(B9:B100), and get a count 92. Clearly there are not 92 nonblank cells. There are only 7. Any thoughts how to count the number of cells showing search results and NOT count the cells that appear blank and only contain the formula. Thanks!!! |
