Count if cell has a number (not blank or text)

Kate Allison

I'm trying to find a formula that will count a cell if it is a number (vs. blank or has text).

My original formula didn't take text into consideration, so I'm starting with a simple COUNT formula: =COUNT([Name]8:[Name]58).

I assume I need some kind of COUNTIF formula, but am not sure how to reference numbers in general. Numbers in the data set might be positive or negative, so I wasn't able to use greater than/less than as a workaround.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi @Kate Allison

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=COUNTIF(Name8:Name58, ISNUMBER(@cell))

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!
