Odd way to emulate excel formula counta()

Needed to count all cells for a project, found how to do it, and am posting it here in case it helps someone else.

on range a

=countifs(A:A,@cell = @cell)

Thanks for sharing!

Can I clarify, is this looking to count all cells in the column including blank cells?

=COUNT(A:A) should provide you with the number of non-blank cells.

If you're wanting to include blank cells, I had used this formula before (but your way is much cleaner!):

=COUNT(A:A) + COUNTIF(A:A, @cell = "")

Cheers 🙂

Yes, this counts all cells, including blanks

Hi. I need to know what is the best way to Count but exclude any cells that are blank. I am looking to count how many machines I have per my programs but I don't want to count the ones that have no date. I've read I should start with Is Blank but that didn't work. Thanks you in advance. Ali
