Hello Everyone, I have a question about counting rows in a spread sheet. I thought the answer to this would be straight forward but I can't seem to get it to work the way I want. I would like to count the rows on a sheet where one cell has a value (a client number) and where another cell is blank (cancellation date). I've tried about a dozen different iterations of the COUNTIFS() function but the only thing I have been able to get to work is the following hack:
=(65551 - COUNTIFS(A$2:A$65552,"") ) - (65551 - COUNTIFS(H$2:H $65552,"")) *65551 is the number of possible rows minus the header row. So essentially I'm counting the number of rows where there is a client number (number of possible client rows minus the number of blank rows), and subtracting the number of cancellation dates (number of possible cancellation dates minus the number of blank rows) I'm not really comfortable with this. I thought that it should be something more like this: =COUNTIFS(A$2:A$65552,NOT(""), H$2:H$65552,"") This second formula only returns 0. Any help on this would be super. Thanks!
