Hi

I have a range that returns (lookup) data (text).
I want to count only the cells that returns visible text in this range and not the cells with formulas. (the range is not filtered !)

How can I do this?

Thanks in advance

Kind regards

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
I assume that means you want to avoid counting cells that have null strings ("") returned by their formulas?

Are the formulas that return other than "", returning numbers, text or possibly either?

What is the range?

Try one of...
Rich (BB code):
=COUNT(Range)+COUNTIF(Range,"?*")
 
=SUMPRODUCT(1-(Range=""))

The first formula can be reduced to...
Rich (BB code):
=COUNTIF(Range,"?*")
if the look up formula is not expected to return any number.

Thanks both of you.

the formula =COUNTIF(Range,"?*") did the job

Have a nice WE
