OK bare with me i'm a noob.
I am trying to track attendance for work, I have four columns for different types of call ins, all I want to do is put a date in the column under the type of call-in. The fifth column I want it to auto total the number of call-ins. I'm pretty sure this is a logic function, not a math function. How do I go about wanting to basically total a number of cells that has any kind of info in it. EX:

A B C D E
8/22/06 8/25/06 Empty 8/28/06 3
