Richard,

I have a column with non-numeric entries (text only). I need to be able to do a simple count of how many entries are in that column. Sounds simple, but all I can find in "Help" are references if the cell has numeric entries. I will actually be doing this for individual columns across the sheet. But I would think what works for one column I could make work for additional columns.

Thanks ... Ken

Answer from Richard Rost:

Kenny, just use the COUNTA function. It will count the number of non-blank cells in a range, like:

=COUNTA(A1:A10)

This is different from the COUNT function, which only counts number values.

Hope this helps.
