Assuming your range is A1:A10 you could use

=COUNTBLANK(A1:A10)

Formulas in your range that return "" are counted but zeros are not.

How to COUNTIF blank cells?
 

=COUNTBLANK() (Can't remember if you need analysis toolpak installed or
not)

or

=COUNTIF(Range,"")

Hi!

Empty cells or cells that contain formula blanks ( "" ) or both?

This counts both:

=COUNTBLANK(A1:E1)

This will only count the cells that contain formula blanks:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISTEXT(A1:E1)),--(LEN(A1:E1)=0))

Try one of these:

=COUNTIF(A1:A100,"")

=COUNTBLANK(A1:A100)

Does that help?
