Countif with wildcard

Need some ideas how to count number of cells in a range with any text in them.

The formula below returns 0 (when all cells in the range contain text)

=COUNTIF(Column Name]10:[Column Name]19, "*")

Any ideas for text wildcard?

Thanks

Nichole,

this formula is fine if "any text" does not refer strictly to text (or strings) in the range of cells:

=COUNTIF(Column Name]10:[Column Name]19, "<>"+"")

if there are numbers and texts in the range and you want to count the cells only with texts, use this formula:

=COUNTIF(Column Name]10:[Column Name]19, ISTEXT(@cell)) [thanks to SS_Devs for @cell! ]

Hope this helps
