Hi @L_123
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 🙂
