    Counting blank cell

    Hello,

    I know I could hide the column, but how do I stop the Pivot Table counting my blank cells?

    I have a formula in cells C2:E2, Even when I copy and paste C2:E2 as values the Pivot Table still seems to count the blank cells. What am i doing wrong? Is my formula incorrect?

    Example attached.

    Thanks in advance for any help

    Hi,

    You could use the Filter drop down and untick the 'blanks'
