How can I use COUNTIFS to count blanks?

How to I enter "blank cell" as my second criterion?

Mike Raposo

Hi,

To count blank cells you'll want to use a condition such as @cell = ""

An example formula could be something like this:

=COUNTIF({Range of cells to be counted}, @cell = "")

Let me know if you have questions.

Best,

Mike

Hey @Mike Raposo

Thank you for the response! My function is still not working. . .

=COUNTIFS({PR-023436 Intake sheet Range 2}, =1, [{PR-023436 Intake sheet Range 3}, @cell = ""])

Is it the same procedure for COUNTIFS functions as well?

Hi @mabliang

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=COUNTIFS({PR-023436 Intake sheet Range 2}, 1, 
{PR-023436 Intake sheet Range 3}, @cell = "")

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!
