    Counting blank cells

    Hi there,

    I am trying to create a formula that will count blank cells within one colunm but not in a line. I have the below already, but need to add D40-D45 etc etc

    =COUNTBLANK(Planner!D11:D18)

    I hope this makes sense, I hope someone can help

    Thanks
