Add total number of rows (text) in a column

I have a document that has entries consisting of text, numbers and dates in
separate columns. I would like to add the number of entries and don't mind
which column I am totalling. There are no conditions. I need to have the
total number of entries noted at the end of the document rather than having
the total number of lines used as a separate column.
Many thanks.

Hi!

So, you want to count how many cells have entries on the entire sheet?

=COUNTA(range)
