"counta" Count Empty Cells

Nov 14, 2002

I am working with output that I copied from SPSS into Excel. I want to use "counta" to count the number of cells in particular rows or columns that have data in them.

I have used "counta" successfully in the past. However, this time it is counting the blank cells as well as those that contain data. When I click on one of the "blank" cells in Excel, nothing shows up in the formula bar.

Why is Excel counting the empty cells?

Empty Cell Keeps Getting Counted With CountA?

Feb 26, 2014

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?

Difference Between COUNT And COUNTA Functions

Oct 8, 2011

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?

How To Count Non-empty Cells?

Mar 30, 2009

I have like 20 columns. I wonder if there is an Excel formula that will count all the non-empty cells across 20 columns. For example, if there are 10 non-empty cells from row B1 to U1 then enter 10 in the result cell A1 and so on down the number of rows. Or, on the other hand, count all the blank or empty cells from B1 to U1.

Count Empty Cells VBA

May 15, 2007

I am trying to count empty cells in the range from the macro.

Idea is to count empty cells in one row, but cells to be counted are discontinued (range A10:A15, A25:A30. ETC....). Other difficulty is that I can not define the range exactly like this, but I have to use ActiveCell.Offset (0,10) or ActiveCell.Offset(0,11) etc...
ActiveCell is A1.

I tried something like this, but it does not work since I can not define the range correctly.

Dim c
Dim numBlanks
numBlanks = 0
For Each c In Range("ActiveCell.Offset (0,10):ActiveCell.Offset(0,15)")
If c.Value = "" Then
numBlanks = numBlanks + 1
End If
Next c

Count Of Dates Less Than Current & Corresponding Cells Aren't Blank/Empty

Apr 19, 2008

I have a formula '= COUNTIF(A1:A5,"<"&TODAY())' that counts the number of expired dates in one column. I want to include a second condition to this formula that will check if another column of dates are blank then they should not be counted. So if for example a1:a2 have expired dates, and b1:b2 have both got dates then they should be included in the count.

Using COUNTA To Retrieve The Number Of Cells That Are Not Blank.

Feb 11, 2010

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.

Count "empty" Cells

May 21, 2006

I need to compile stats on how many personnel are at work each day. If they are available the cell has no data in it. To do this I am using a VBA program (from your pages) which counts gemptyh cells and it works great, BUT, because the Excel spreadsheet is used by a number of my managers, when they change, erase data in the cells, some of them fill the blanks in with white while others choose the no fill option to create gblank cellsh. This means that if I set the program to count &#8211;4142 no fill, it will only count those, not white cells and vice versa. Can I modify the VBA program to count both? Can I reset gwhiteh cells to no fill? I have pasted the VBA I use below and it would be great if there was a way just to modify it to count white and no fillcc..

Function CountByColor(InRange As Range, _
WhatColorIndex As Integer, _
Optional OfText As Boolean = False) As Long
'
' This function return the number of cells in InRange with
' a background color, or if OfText is True a font color,
' equal to WhatColorIndex.

Dim Rng As Range

Returning The Contents Of A Non-empty Cell In A Range Of Empty Cells

Jan 8, 2008

I have a long range of cells (U3:AX3), all of which are empty save one. Is there a way to search through the range of cells, and return the contents of the one cell that contains text?

I would do this with a series of nested IF statements if there weren't more than 30 of them!

Make Formula Cells Empty Rather Than Empty Text

Apr 17, 2008

Is it possible to make a cell "really" blank/empty based on an If statement? For instance:

=if(a1>10,a1,"")

Has a value_if_false of "". But Excel interprets this a bit differently than a cell that never had anything typed into it.

So if you have a column full of this formula copied down, and hit <control+down arrow>, you will go straight to the bottom and skip over all rows. Whereas if you have a column with values and empty cells alternating and hit <control+down arrow>, you will only skip the empty cells and go to the next value. Excel treats the conditionally empty cells as if they have a value, when it comes to this type of navigation. This holds even if you copy and paste "Values" for the cells over the formulas.

Is there any way to tell Excel to make the cells truly empty?

Count/Average Number Of Specified Name Where Corresponding Cell Is Not Blank/Empty

May 1, 2008

sumif problem but it wont work with a countif or average if.

Column A has various names and Column B has amounts, what I need is to count the number of occurances "John Smith" has an amount in Column B. The previous formula I tried was

=sumif(A:A,"John Smith",B:B) but with either countif or averageif it errors too many arguements.

I wasn't sure if Dcount or an array would be suitable but have not used them before.

Pivot tables I'm sure will be the future with this but haven't got to the foot of that mountain yet.

Count Number Of Rows In Specific Column Up To Empty Cell

Feb 13, 2013

I want to count the number of rows in a specific column up to an empty cell and assign this value to a cell. I don't want to count the total number of rows but instead I want the number of the first group of rows.

For example, column A may have cells ranging from row 2 to 10 and then from row 12 to 20, so I only want to count the first group.

The below code counts the total which is not what i need.

Code:
Sub test()
Dim Mycount As Single
Mycount = Application.Count(Range("A:A"))
Cells(1, 4) = Mycount
End Sub

Excel 2007 :: Conditional Formatting Empty Cells Based On Full Cells?

Nov 17, 2011

Working in Excel 2007. I am using excel for a data log (basically) and want it to format all empty cells in a row yellow if there is data in column A

Basically, If i have a value in A2, I want any empty cell between B2-G2 to be filled in yellow (as an idicator to the inputter that the cell needs to be completed).

there is already conditional formatting on these cells, which i want to maintain for the non-empty cells. I also have "0" as a value, so I couldn't use the basic conditional formatting setting it =0, it highlighted cells with $0.00, which i do not want.
