What are counta's parametres?
Its parameters can be either a range of cells, a list of individual cells, or even values, which can be numbers text and even blank:=COUNTA(A4,A6,B6,C15)=COUNTA(B2:B25)=COUNTA(1,"A",,,,"Do",2,128)
Why is counta used?
In Excel, Counta is used to Count the number of cells that are not empty and the values within the list of arguments.
What is the difference between count and countA?
Count: counts the number of cells with numeric values in a range. Counta: counts the number of cells containing data (letters or numbers) in a range. Counta counts the number of non-blank cells in a range. Counta will therefore exclude any empty cells, which would be included if the count function were used.
What does the function counta do and what are its parameters in Excel?
The Excel COUNTA function counts the number of cells that are not empty in a range. The syntax is COUNTA(value1, [value2], ...).See related links for a site that explains the COUNTA function pretty well and has a video for it too.COUNTA is a function in MS Excel used to count numeric and non-numeric values both Take look at example = COUNTA(A1:A10) it will count all the numeric and non-numeric values present in A1 to A10 cells.
Excel last cell in a column with an amount in it?
Use 'COUNTA' function. for example: if you want to know the last cell of column B, use the formula below =COUNTA(B:B) It'll give you the cell reference If you want to know the value then use formula below =INDIRECT("B"&COUNTA(B:B))
What function You would use to know how many cells contain data?
You can use the Count or Counta functions. Count just counts cells that have numbers in them. Counta will count cells that have numbers or text in them. For the cells B2 to B15 you would use them this way: =COUNT(B2:B15) =COUNTA(B2:B15)
What does the function counter do and what are its parameters?
There is no builtin function 'counta' in C.

How do you use count if formulas on excel?
Count cells with numbers: COUNT Count cells with data: COUNTA Count blank cells: COUNTBLANK As an example: =COUNT(A1:A5) =COUNTA(A1:A5) =COUNTBLANK(A1:A5)
How can you use an OR statement in Excel to say if either column A or column B has something then return a value of 1?
You could do it as follows, using the COUNTA function to count how many cells have something in them, returning 1 if there is or 0 if there isn't. For the purpose of the example, I am using A1 to A20 and B1 to B20 as my two ranges, so you could change those if necessary. =IF( OR( COUNTA( A1:A20 )>0,COUNTA( B1:B20 )>0 ),1,0 ) To specify the entire column, you would use the letter on both sides of a colon, like A:A to specify every cell in column A on the entire sheet, so your formula would be like this: =IF( OR( COUNTA( A:A )>0 , COUNTA( B:B )>0 ),1,0 )
What is a function that is used to count cells with content in range?
COUNTA will count cells with anything in them, whereas COUNT just counts cells with numbers.
What happens when you press the spacebar to clear a cell does it enters a blank character?
Yes it does. The result of this is that the cell is not actually blank, which can have significance for some functions, such as COUNTA for example.
