How to Count the Number of Cells Greater than Zero in a Filtered List?

**denise001** · 09-01-2011, 11:00 AM

Hello Excel Forum.

Can anyone tell me the formula to put in Cell D1 that will state how many cells,when I apply my filters, are greater than zero?

Attached example enclosed - with the desired filters applied already.

The count in the filtered list is 10. But I want the count only where the value in the cell is greater than zero. In this example, the correct answer is 9, because there is a cell that is zero and I want to ignore the zero cells.

Have tried every possible combination of functions (sumproduct/countif) but this is really beating me hands down.

Many thanks

Perfect NBVC! Works perfectly. Thank you very much.

With a formula that long, I would have never got it - but I am pleased to say I did get close, as one of my attempts did include MIN(ROW). So thank you for your help. Appreciate your time.

Quite a tricky one I thought!
