Count Blanks In Dynamic Range
Feb 25, 2010
I want to count blanks in a horizontal range (all in one row) that will change (dynamic range). The values in the range could be numbers or words. Some values may be added to the end, but there may still be some empty cells to the right of the last value. My goal is to count blanks in the range up to the last entered value, but no beyond that. As an example:
A6 = 2
B6 = empty cell
C6 = 2
D6 = empty cell
E6 = tt
F6 = empty cell
The range for the count blanks would be A6:E6. F6 is not included because the last entered value is in cell E6.
The answer (count blanks in dynamic range) should be 2.
I have got these 3 formulas to work, but it seems that there must be a better (shorter, faster calculating, more elegant) formula than these:
=COUNTBLANK(OFFSET(A6,,,,MATCH(9.9E+307,MATCH(A6:F6,A6:F6)+TRANSPOSE(ROW(INDIRECT(""1:""&COLUMNS(A6:F6)))))))
=COUNTBLANK(OFFSET(A6,,,,MATCH(9.9E+307,MATCH(A6:F6,A6:F6)+{1,2,3,4,5,6})))
=COUNTBLANK(A6:INDEX(A6:F6,MATCH(9.9E+307,MATCH(A6:F6,A6:F6)+TRANSPOSE(ROW(INDIRECT(""1:""&COLUMNS(A6:F6)))))))

Assume this Data in a spreadsheet
I want to count blank "PI" based on "Product name" & "Product date" occurence together
So I created intermediate field "IS Blank", and I dunno what formula can give me the below results
My obective to get this result
CountBlank for PI = 3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Product Name..... Product Date.... PI...... IsBlank "PI" [Desired Formula output]
xxx .......................ddd ...............Blank.................. 1
xxx .......................ddd ...............Blank.................. 0 (counted above for same xxx&ddd)
xxx .......................ddd222 ..........Blank.................. 1 (PD changed to ddd222)

I need to populate a cell with a dropdown list via data validation. The source is a list that contains blanks both in between data and at the end of the list. Like this:
John
Peter
(BLANK)
Ann
(BLANK)
Carol
(BLANK)
(BLANK)
(BLANK)
etc.
The blank cells are actually not empty, but contains formulas (and I therefore assume I cannot use COUNTA for leaving them out).
Anyone knows how to create a source list for the data validation dropdown list that leaves out any blanks (containing formulas) in the middle and the end of the range?

I am having 2 problems with dynamic named ranges. On one hand, I am getting a LOT of duplicates in some ranges and a lack of entries in those ranges that have too many blanks. Here is a sample of the dynamic named range in the first column:
This first range is called "NamedRange_1"
=OFFSET(Data!$A$2,0,0, COUNTA(Data!$A:$A)-1,1)
how to eliminate both the duplicates and the blanks?

I have use for this function on varying ranges. I pasted my function as well as my call to it. PhasesActive is just a named range of 5 cells. I get an error... by ref argument type error. Something with the argument, do I have to name the worksheet the range is on?
Function RangeValueCount(Rng As range)
'The function to check if a range has more than one value marked for 'selection, ex: The phases choices
For Each cell In Rng
If Not IsEmpty(cell) Then
RangeValueCount = RangeValueCount + 1
End If
Next cell
End Function
Call RangeValueCount(PhasesActive)
If RangeValueCount > 1 Then
msg = "There appears to be multiple phases selected. Please select only" & vbNewLine
msg = msg & "one phase at a time"
MsgBox msg
End If

I need to be able to count all the blanks in columns other than A but only until the last used cell in column A. I am using a formula right now that counts the blanks in column A until the last used cell but I don't know how to apply the range of column A to other columns like B and C. Here is an example of what I hope to accomplish:
Formula used in A1 that I need applied to other columns but with the range of column A
="Total Blanks: "&COUNTIF(INDEX(A2:A8,MATCH(TRUE,A2:A8<>"",0)):INDEX(A2:A8,MATCH(2,1/(A2:A8<>""))),"")
Here is an example of what B1 and C1, with the formula, would look like if it counted blanks but with the range of column A
Total Blanks: 3
Total Blanks: 6
Total Blanks: 2

How I can create a simple formula to count unique values/text within a range of cells that contain duplicates, blanks and errors?
For e.g., in Column A (row 1 - 10):
Proj-001
Proj-001
Proj-002
Proj-004
#N/A
#N/A
Proj-007
Proj-002

I have created a Macro in VBA which takes a data set, puts in in a pivot table which I then use to sort/select etc. after that I copy the data in a new sheet as ' values only' with paste special.
As the source date is variable (number of lines can vary) I have set the macro to take the variable number of rows into account.
Evertyhing works as it should.
Now my question:
in the final sheet, I want to fill the first empty column at the end of all filled-in columns with a count function. selecting the last column works, but I have problems with making the COUNT function variable. It should count the number of cells with a value in it. However as the number of columns can vary, the count function should take that into account. Furthermore, it should never take the first and last column into account.
Here's where I got stuck: ...

I am trying to create a formula to count a range relative to a dynamic reference (at least I think that's you would phrase it).
I thought I was on to a winner with this:
Formula:
[Code] .....
But it doesn't seem to accept the : as a legal operator.
I suspect the answer is to use SUMPRODUCT somehow.

I have a function which copy pastes data into a sheet based on a filter criteria. It is also pasted in a specific layout(shown below) starting from Cell A1 in the top left corner. Therefore the destination sheet could have a different number of rows with values each time.
What I would like to do is count the sum of 'Values' in the destination sheet, and add a total below it.
For example, the [=TOTAL] cell is where I want the total to appear. Below the answer would be 26. But say if Peter wasnt in the record, the formula should still work in identifying the Total as 20.
Title:
Sheridan
Owner
Petrov G
[Code]....
Is there a way I can achieve the desired result? I figured I had to somehow count from the first record by Peter, to the last one, whichever that may be.

I am after a formula that will calculate the blank cells since the last cell with a value in it.
Eg. I'm putting the formula in Column AW and have values in AH & AR and want to know the number of blanks since the last value which should be 4 in this case. I will need to copy this from row 1 to row 1000.

Is there anyway to make this work without having to enter a specific range. For example I want to count the duplicates in column U, but don't want it to count blank cells.
Here is my formula right now, and it works, but it counts all of the blank cells in the row as duplicates. How can I stop that?
=SUMPRODUCT(--(COUNTIF(U:U,U:U)>1))

I have the following table in excel
Id Name
1 dsf
1 sdfs
1 sdw
1 we
2 dsf
2 fds
2
3 saf
3 saf
4 fds
4
4 fds
I have then created a summary sheet, I want to count the values in column B (Name) for each Id (Column A) but I want to exclude the blanks. So my Summary page will look like this with the following results:
Id count
1 4
2 2
3 2
4 1

Is there a function to count blanks in a filtered column? That is, if I filter a column to show the rows that are blank, can I use the subtotal function (or some other) to count the number of blanks?

I want to figure a class average for a test, but I have students that have moved. My Excel is automatically counting them as a zero. How can I program/tell Excel to skip any blanks rather than count them in the average?

I am trying to make a excell spread sheet that will calculate my students averages for the year. I need to account for zeros in the coarse and I want this excel sheet to track the current average all year long . So I do not need to include my blanks in the average as I go. Also , how do I formulate my average accum to show this formula - Test scores, four of them count as 80% of the total grade. So each test is worth 20% / Lab 10% of total grade and homework is additional 10%. I downloaded the templete from MSN and have tweaked it to my liking except for the coding above. Please advise. I am a below par on Excel. My attachemtn is below of my templete. One note. the templete gave me the room to include 13 ros of homework - but I will not necessarily use all of them... I can make it one row for home work only ....

I have a simple pivot table that is types by state. I want to know how many types are in each state. In the attached image the answer for Alaska is 5, for Arizona 5, for Arkansas 1, etc. How do I get Excel to tell me that for each state?
I'm using Excel 2010. I have PowerPivot installed but really don't know how to use it yet.

I have this array formula
=IF(ROWS(A$11:A13)1,IF(MSB!$A13"",SMALL(ROW(Table1[APP DATE])-ROW(MSB!$A$11)+1,ROWS(A$11:A13)),""))))
the problem is that when both if statements are true i want it to get the row number, this is because table1 has blank rows (can not be avoided as the data is linked from a closed workbook)
i can see this works up until it meets the first blank row and i get #value error.
on table1 data exists on row 1,2,5 and 8 so my problem is getting the small function k to report these numbers?

I am in desperate need of a function that will count a column of data where there are blanks and values based on a certain date that will also capture any data that is added after refreshing the table from Access. I have tried several functions but this is what I have: =(ROWS('TouchBack Detail'!$Q:$Q)*COLUMNS('TouchBack Detail'!$Q:$Q))+(COUNTIFS('TouchBack Detail'!$B:$B,'Nov TouchBack Summary'!B$1)). The result should be 3 but it’s including all other cells in the column that are not and should not be included in the refreshed table’s data (Table_TouchBack.accdb). I have attached the spreadsheet for review. The function is in cell B27 highlighted in yellow.

I have a range which will change in size & in content, & I want this to be a Named Range at whatever size it is.
Reason I want to is because I want to make a Validation List with this dynamic range. I also want a Validation list which lists the content of 2 or more dynamic ranges which may or may not be on the same worksheet - is this possible?
i.e.
First dynamic range: called "Milestones" at A11
Second dynamic range: called "Activities" at A25
& make a Validation list that will list content of both

I have a sheet here where I would like to have a table that counts all the categories in column A only if there is no corrsponding date in column B. So it will take each category and output the number of them that have a blank in the B column.
see attached example. I've tried various combinations of countif and isblank but it just doesn't seem to want to work for me.

I need to perform the following calculation:
=FTEST($A$2:$A$30,$B$2:$B$30)
The problem is that this statistical test needs to have pairs and sometimes the ranges won't all be filled or paired. For example, column A may have 15 rows while column B may have 20. So in this case I would need to only add A2 through A15 and B2 through B15.
Is there any any that can be done?

Using the following bit of code that will Select the whole range of A2:C2 all the way down to the last row:
ws2.Range("A2:C" & ws2.Range("A2:C2").End(xlDown).Row).Select
How do I get around it if there happens to be a Blank cell(s) within the range.
I still need to work with the range even though there may be blank cells.

Trying to do the following. Look at a range of cells in a row, say A1- H1. Sum the last three cells that have a number in them versus being blank. So, let's say the last numbers in row 1 are in cells B1, F1 and H1, but in row 2 they may be in cells E2, F2 and G2.
