I need a formula that will not execute if ALL cells " A1:A5 " are blank
The formula works with cells from another sheet:

This is my formula:

=IF(NOT(ISBLANK(data!A1:A5)); COUNTIF(data!A1:A5; "=0") ; " ") and is NOT WORKING

the formula works if is just one cell "A1"

=IF(NOT(ISBLANK(data!A1)); COUNTIF(data!A1:A5; "=0") ; " ")

Round to nearest half hour?
Use =MROUND(A2,"0:30") to round to nearest half hour. Use =CEILING(A2,"0:30") to round to next half hour.
= IF(SUM(data!A1:A5)=0,"",COUNTIF(data!A1:A5,"=0"))

For me:

=COUNTIF(data!A1:A5,"=0")

ignores blank cells (Excel 2003).

If all cells are blank I want this formula =COUNTIF(data!A1:A5,"=0") to return " " (blank cell) not 0

In this form =COUNTIF(data!A1:A5,"=0"), when all cells are blank , returns 0 and I want the formula to return " " blank cell .
