COUNTA Function After Blank Cell
Oct 2, 2008
Is there a way to use the COUNTA function in cell A1, that will return the total number of cells containing text in the rest of row 1, BUT, will start the count over after a blank cell.
EXAMPLE: A2, A3, A4 all have text added on a daily basis. The value returned via COUNTA in A1 = 3 (after the third day). However, A5 is blank, then A6 gets text on the 5th day, and now I need the returned value in A1 via the COUNTA function to = 1, because we started over after a blank cell.
Possible?

I need to do two things in my Excel spreadsheet: 1) I want it to insert a blank row everytime a value in the 1st column changes. 2) In the blank lines, I want to do a COUNTA for each of columns G through N. If I can get the program to insert the blank rows...they will not be a set # of records apart...some will have 3 records & some might have 17 records. Is there a way to automatically cause #2 to happen instead of having to choose the function icon and then tell Excel the first and last cells in each range?

I understand the non blank cells part of Count A but not the additional values part. I have looked at the examples in teh MS help and it doe not help at all really.
A1:Data
A2:Sales
A3:11/01/1900
A4:
A5:19
A6:3
A7:FALSE
doing =counta(a1:a7,2) returns a value of 7 but why? There are six non blank cells and no cells containing a 2

I am trying to use =COUNTA(A25:A500) to retrieve the number of non blank cells. Only problem I am having is that the cells that are blank are also using a formula to gather its data. The cell would be blank but the formula is still there, so using =COUNTA(A25:A500) returns all these cells with the formula also.

I have a formula counting non blank cells in another sheet 'Mem' I know there are 21 entries in Column M, which it used to show as the result. Today it shows 0. The 21 entries are still there.
Code:
=COUNTA(Mem!$M:M)
The cell containing the formula is B6. The bottom bar of Excel has: Ready Circular:B6

How can I make it work ?
Sub test2()
Dim Wbk, aaa, bbb
Wbk = "\server1folder1file1.xls"
aaa = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Workbooks(Wbk).Sheets(1).Range("A:A"))
bbb = MsgBox(aaa)
End Sub

I am trying to produce VBA code that will perform the CountA function on a variable number of lines in a column. My macro first sorts the worksheet by department number and then inserts 2 blank rows when there is a change in departments. Most departments have several rows of data, but some may have only 1. In column N of the first blank row following each department, I want to count the number of rows for that department.

I am using the COUNTA function which works great but I also have data that I dont want counted and do not know of the problem solver.
E.G
in B1 I have vlookup function thats brings back either "B", "C" or "M".
in c1 I have =IF(A1="C",B1,"")
Now, that tells me if the data is B or not. If it is, it says B If it isnt, its blank
Thats great but when im trying to count how many "B"'s there are, it counts the blanks as well!

I'm using the SUM, COUNTA and COUNTIF functions in a macro. The SUM and COUNTA works but the COUNTIF function does not return results.
Sub B_Test()
Dim myRange
Dim Results
Dim Run As Long
myRange = Workbooks(1).Worksheets("Master").Range("S6", Range("S6").End(xlDown))
Range("M3") = Application.WorksheetFunction.Sum(myRange)
myRange = Workbooks(1).Worksheets("Master").Range("D6", Range("D6").End(xlDown))
Range("D3") = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(myRange)
End Sub
I have tried countless ways to rewrite the COUNTIF line with no results or compiler errors returned. Originally had problems with the SUM and COUNTIF function and found that column formating was the problem. After clearing all column formats, the SUM function promptly began working but the COUNTIF keeps eluding all my efforts. The column which the COUNTIF is pointed to contains values of 0 to 500. Only values greater than 0 are to be counted.

I have one column that contains an If statement formula and would like the next column to then work off of the first column (i.e. if that 1st column returns a value then then adjacent column uses that result).
What is happening now is that it is returning #value (because I guess technically the cell isn't blank?)

I am copy/pasting arrays of numbers from several sheets into a main sheet.
The arrays are placed in separate columns next to each other. However the array sizes (Rows) varies in size
In the main sheet I have placed a =CountA function that counts numbers of non-blank cell within the columns, see sample file.
However sometimes it apparently counts cells that appear to be empty. I mean the cells are visibly empty, but gets counted anyway.
Is there an easy work-around or is it the general use of the formula?

I'd like to do an if statement that only brings in data from a cell if another cell is not blank...
=if(A1="not blank",A3,"")
I need the "not blank". Sometimes the cell is text, sometimes it is a number.

I have excel worksheet like this
HTML Code:Â
a b c d
1 bob math fail
2 bob biology success
3 bob (blank)
4 jane math success
5 jane biology success
6 jane (blank)
7 jake math success
8 jake biology fail
9 jake (blank)
I want to fill cell D3, D6, D9 automatically by a formula with condition if one lesson is fail then it's fail, but if both lesson is success then it's success
Example on cell D3 (blank cell on row for student name "Bob") should be fail (his math is fail), same with cell D9 (blank cell on row for student name "jake", due to his biology is fail), but on cell D6 (blank cell on row for student name "jane") should be success.

How can i return a blank cell if the formula is looking at a blank cell with IF function?
E.g. IF(A1=" "," "," ")
(This is part of a bigger statement which returns a date if and when there is a date in the cell, if there isn't it comes up with an answer even though it should be blank)

I'm trying to use a lookup function that when encounters a blank cell, it uses a 0 to factor into an equation. In the lookups, like d9, if there is a blank cell, I would like it to use a 0 factored in. I keep getting #N/A.
Here is my formula:....

I tried to answer a problem on here by giving this formula: = COUNTIF(A1:B6,"=""")
but it doesn't work on my machine. Nor does =COUNTIF(A1:B6,"<>"""). In either case, the effect is as if all cells in the range are non-blank. But the result of =A1="" is "TRUE". Neither syntax is rejected by Excel; in fact, if you omit one of the quotes, the syntax is corrected to the form shown. So I am curious. Does this work normally, but some setting in my machine is stopping it? Or, if it never works, why is it not giving a syntax error? I am using Excel 2000.

The following are on a sheet:
A1 = 5700
B1 = 235
C1 = 17:14
D1 = 5922
$E$1 = 09:01
$F$1= 3
$E$1 and $F$1 are (the only) absolutes/constants.
A2 contains the following:
=IF(A1>D1,B1,IF(A1+B1<D1,"d",IF(AND(C1<$E$1,B1<$F$1),"",B1))))
This translates as:
=IF(5700>5922,235,IF(5700+235<5922,"d",IF(AND(7:14<09:01,235<3),"",235))))
The result is a variable/number (235), "d" or a blank cell ("").
This formula is in a column and works fine where there are numbers in corresponding cells. The problem arises with corresponding cells which appear blank (show no values) but contain references to other cells: they result in a "d" when nothing should be displayed.
So while a corresponding blank cell is correct if it shows no values, it gives me this problem - I don't want "d" or anything.

For example if I were to take the data in cells d3($358), d4($321), d5($130), d6($82) and skip a cell to now make the same data into cells d3, d5, d7, d9. Next, the data in cells f3, f4, f5, f6 would be merge into the blank cells of d4, d6, d8, d10.
The final result would look like column B. I have over two years of sales data in two separate columns that I need to merged into one column. Is there easier way without a simple cut and paste one cell at a time as this would take an enormous amount of time to complete? I’m not that good with VBA codes so a formula works good, but if VBA is the way to go then tell how to enter it on my worksheet.

Assume you have a rectangular range. Say A1:M18. There are values in some random cells (any number of cells) within the range. The rest of cells are blank. In cell M19 (ie cell below the bottom right corner of the range), I need a excel function that returns the nearest (ie physical location) non blank cell value. I have searched the internet for weeks. The closest formula is the following (see below) but it is flawed as it returns zero if there are values in rows below the row of the nearest cell with non blank...and also zero if there is value in a column greater than the column of the nearest cell with non blank.
Closest formula so far:
INDEX(A1:M18,LARGE(IF(ISBLANK(A1:M18),"",ROW(A1:M18)),1)-ROW(A1:M18)+1,LARGE(IF(ISBLANK(A1:M18),"",COLUMN(A1:M18)),1)-COLUMN(A1:M18)+1).
And the function should be relative not absolute as the range can be extended..but the location of the formula remain same relative to the array size. (ie. always at below the right bottom cell).
NOTE: Ignore the special case where two non blank cells are the nearest. That will not happen.

How can I add validation to cell B76?
If there is no text in B71:B75 then don't allow a value in B76.
This would force them to add text description before entering a price.

I'm trying to create a report to show daily statistics for internet traffic. I have a large table showing a daily breakdown of performance, a table showing combined cost for all "Mondays", "Tuesdays" etc in the month and I also want a table to show the "average" performance for a typical "Monday", "Tuesday" etc.
The report will be used on a daily basis and I realised that until there is a full compliment of data the daily averages table would be inaccurate as it will be dividing the overall total for each day by the total number of occurances each day has in a typical month. This is wrong because if we are only halfway through the month then we will be dividing by days that haven't arrived yet.

A cell that will count an entry in another cell, within a range of numbers. EX: cell g1 will count the entries that range from 1000 to 1999 and 5000 to 5999 and 7000 to 7999. cell h1 will count the entries that range from 2000 to 2999 and 6000 to 6999 and 8000 to 8999. So if i had 6 cells with the following entries:
cell a1 - 1010
cell b1 - 2230
cell c1 - 5699
cell d1 - 6521
cell e1 - 7001
cell f1 - 8035
cell g1 would show 3
cell h1 would show 3

I am using the following formula to calculate the number of responses:
=COUNTIF([Cleanliness of Environment:],"None of the above")
However, I only want the number of cells which contain words other than "None of the above". The formula is counting empty cells. Is there a way to weed out the empty cells and receive a tally of only cells with words other than "None of the above" in them?

Code:
Private Sub custcountTB_Enter()
custcountTB.Value = Sheet5.Columns(1, 1).FormulaR1C1 = "=COUNTA(R[-4]C[-3]:R[95]C[-3])"
End Sub
All I am after is to count how many customers there are and show the value in text box.

Say there are two changing values in a spreadsheet: A row reference, and a column reference, called sRow and sCol.
sRow and sCol are integers, and they are also changing values.
I want to know how to find how many cells have something in them on row R, starting from column C to infinity (To the right). But the problem is that R and C change sometimes, so I have to make some sort of dynamic CountA formula.
I know I have to use CountA() to do this, but I don't know how to make the range reference just from two integers. What I have tried so far is CountA($sCol$sRow:$sRow), but this does not work. How do I properly format this formula?

I've tried many variations but I can't seem to find a solution - I hope you can help. I'd like a formula that will ideally achieve the following:
IF B5:F5 all contain the letter y then return "Pass"
IF B5:F5 AND G5:K5 all contain the letter y then return "Merit"
IF B5:F5 AND G5:K5 AND L5:K5 all contain the letter y then return "Distinction"
IF B5:F5 is blank return blank
IF there are Y's in B5:F5 and the total < 5 return "Fail"
I did a sample sheet to show the desired output but don't know if this forum supports attachments.

I've long wondered what's the difference between these two formulae - COUNT() & COUNTA(). Even if I apply COUNT() function on a range of cells with intermittent blanks, it still returns the count of the values in the range. How different is this from the COUNTA() function?

I have a sheet with 2 columns. First Column lists sizes of Devices. Second colum lists a servername. Example:
A B
30 server_a
30 server_a
65 server_a
65 server_a
45 server_b
45 server_b
15 server_b
What I want to do is a device count, not device sum on a criteria based on Column B.
For instance whenever column B equals servername A, then count how many devices it has.
This would equal 4 instead of 190 which is the sum of the devices. I can do a sumif statement, very easily, but I don't want a sum, I just want a count.
