3. Counting: COUNT, COUNTA, COUNTBLANK

Lesson 3 of 25
Task 1 of 3
  1. In E2, count how many employees have a number in the sales column (B).

Lesson theory
  • =COUNT(B2:B9) counts the cells that contain numbers.
  • =COUNTA(A2:A9) counts the non-empty cells (numbers, text, anything).
  • =COUNTBLANK(B2:B9) counts the empty cells.

This is a quick way to check a table: is everything filled in, and how many real numbers are there?

fx

Enter — commit · F2 — edit · F4 — $ in a reference · Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V — copy and paste · Ctrl+Z — undo

Esc or F6 — leave the sheet for the «Check» button · Shift+Tab in the first cell — back to the page
