counting non-blanks
On the topic of counting non-blanks in a column, while NOT counting cells that look blank but actually have a formula in them:
Thought I'd provide more breadcrumbs for future solvers of this problem: COUNTIF(Range, "?") worked great for me. Brilliant idea. I had tried 0 to no avail, so it never occurred to me to try something else. I was even able to use the entire column reference as a range (E:E), except then it counted the column heading as well (obviously not blank), so my working formula became COUNTIF(Range, "?")-1 EggHeadCafe - .NET Developer Portal of Choice http://www.eggheadcafe.com/default.aspx?ref=ng |

Hi
That did not work for me, it just returned 0 when the column contained 6 numbers and one formula which returned "". This was true in 2003 and 2007. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "DJK Moore" wrote: On the topic of counting non-blanks in a column, while NOT counting cells that look blank but actually have a formula in them: Thought I'd provide more breadcrumbs for future solvers of this problem: COUNTIF(Range, "?") worked great for me.

counting non-blanks
Hi,
The following formula works for me =SUMPRODUCT(--(LEN(A1:A9)0)) However, you need to consider: if the cell that looks blank contains a spacebar or is a formula that evalutes to a space it is counted eventhough it is not visable. =IF(A1=3," ",25) -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "DJK Moore" wrote: On the topic of counting non-blanks in a column, while NOT counting cells that look blank but actually have a formula in them: Thought I'd provide more breadcrumbs for future solvers of this problem: COUNTIF(Range, "?") worked great for me.
