The result is 3. In a massive data sheet, this is especially helpful to locate cells containing formula, along with empty cells.If cell contain a Formula and formula return’s a BLANK, COUNTBLANK will count it as a blank.Counting cells that match certain criteria is done using COUNTIF and COUNTIFS functions. I have started to use =COUNTIF(Range, "<>" & ""). To count cells based on one criteria (for example, greater than 9), use the following COUNTIF function. Countif. So remember to keep the counting cell in a corner of the worksheet or away from the path of data rows and columns.In the below screenshot, It’s only Counting Number of cell contain only Number, between In the same function, you add multiple Arguments also.In above formula, two more arguments has been added, 10 & “10”.However, excel will treat both arguments as Number, and count them.Counta function in excel is different from the count function. 4 seconds for Counta, 3 seconds for Countif).

Record # Part # 1 1,569 COUNT =COUNTIF(A2:A5,A2)+COUNTIF(A2:A5,A3) Counts the number of apples (the value in A2), and oranges (the value in A3) in cells A2 through A5. I was never able to set a dynamic pivot table range by using the Match/BigNum and had to use the Offset method (which I did use Counta). To find out how many numbers between 5 and 10 (not including 5 and 10) are contained in cells C2 through C10, use this formula: =COUNTIFS(C2:C10,">5", C2:C10,"<10") To include 5 and 10 in the count, use the "greater than or equal to" and "less than or equal to" operators: =COUNTIFS(B2:B10,">=5", B2:B10,"<=10") Formula 2. SUMPRODUCT function is a versatile function that can be used to count with criteria, sometimes even better than countif function. COUNTA is usually not present in exel as default in AutoSum menu.
Each Counta/Countif was run separately (approx. For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding.

Now we will make a formula out of these functions. The conditional count can be done using COUNTIF function but this is not the only function that can do so.
Sum. An example of using both functions is given below: Where COUNT calculates the number of cells with a numerical value, COUNTA simply counts the number of cells that contain any value (that is, cells that are not blank).
First, there is no semantic difference between select count(1) from table vs. select count(*) from table. To sum a range of cells, use the SUM function. COUNTIFS to count cells between two numbers. Purpose of COUNT function is to count number data and ignore text data. Obviously I don't have FastExcel figures, but in the poor-man's test I ran, the Countif seemed more efficient during the calc. The first one is for a single range (example You can also use this to count cells that contain “<” or “<=” (lesser than or equal to) or “>” or “>=” (greater than or equal to) values too.These two functions can also be applied for text data. It only counts, if cells in that range has numbers.
