Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.

If text values are what you want to count excluding formula blanks...

=COUNTIF(A2:A100,"?*")

If numbers also must be included...

=COUNT(A2:A100)+COUNTIF(A2:A100,"?*")
