I have a COUNTA formula running and returning results correctly. I want to amend the formula so that an exclusion is not counted. In this case, i am counting all cells with values in a large range, but i want to exclude a particular value.

COUNTIF with exception would not work for this case based on my knowledge.

Any help appreciated.

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
What's the current formula and what value do you want to exclude? You could just use:

Code:
=COUNTA({Range})-COUNTIF({Range},{Exclude Value})

I think you could also use COUNTIFS. Example: Counting values in B1:B8 but not "abc"

=COUNTIFS(B1:B8,"<>",B1:B8,"<>abc")
