counting and excluding

[excelhelp12]

In the following table the first column is column B and the last column is coulmn E. I want to count all the cells in column E that are filled BUT I want to exclude the cells from column E that appear in column B. Since there is a 0, 40, and 50 in column E and also in column B it would be excluded from the count of column E. In the end the count of column E should be 7. in this example there aren't that many values so I really could do this manually but I want a formula to use for hundreds of values. Thanks

Why is the quiz 10 50.00 not excluded?
