I am trying to count the number of rows in a spreadsheet which contain at least one non-blank value over a few columns: i.e.
row 1 has a text value in column A
row 2 has a text value in column B
row 3 has a text value in column C
row 4 has no values in A, B or C
The formula would equate to 3, because rows 1, 2, & 3 have a text value in at least one column. Similarly if row 1 had a text value in each column (A, B, & C) this would be counted as 1.
If you want to learn how to count text in Excel, you need to use function COUNTIF with the criteria defined using wildcard *, with the formula: =COUNTIF(range;"*") . Range is defined cell range where you want to count the text in Excel and wildcard * is criteria for all text occurrences in the defined range.
With formulas, what you can do is:
D2
), add =COUNTA(A2:C2)
D4
in our example)D5
): =SUM(D2:D4)
