Apologies for the multiple questions today.. My brain is just not functioning!

In Row 1 (From B:G I have a cell which is either blank or non-blank)

In Cells B2:G100, these may contain a value or not.

What I need is a COUNTIF the column has a header value to count. If the column header is blank, then whatever cells are filed in or not, it ignores in the count

COLUMN BCOLUMN CCOLUMN D
Header_1Header_2<blank>
hhuuiwdfdsdffs
dsafdfssdfdfsdfsdf
dfsfsdsdfdf
dsfdffsfsdfds
dfasddfdfsah
dfsdsfdfsdfdf
dfsdfdfgfg
(COUNT 7)(COUNT 4)(COUNT 0)

So the answer i need is 11

I need a formula that will dun the length of the specified columns and just return a count of one figure please.. The number of columns will increase over time, so preferably a formula that I an just change the columns i want captured, rather than one that is column B+Column C+Column D all in one formaula (if that makes sense!)
 

Excel Facts

Create a chart in one keystroke
Select the data and press Alt+F1 to insert a default chart. You can change the default chart to any chart type
How about
Excel Formula:
=SUMPRODUCT((B1:F1<>"")*(B2:F20<>""))

Have you found the answer to your question, I have a similar issue.

As surkdidat marked post post# as the solution, I'm guessing the answer is yes.
