    Question COUNT cells and IF ALL cells are blank do not display 0

    Dear Gurus! Your assistance please on the below....

    I need to count cells with numbers only ignoring any text but if ALL CELLS within the range are blank or contain text only then i do not want the formula to display 0. it needs just to leave it blank.

    Appreciate your assistance!

    try using subtotal():
    SUBTOTAL(2,A1:A10)
    where 2 - counting only numbers

    Maybe something like this...

    =IFERROR(1/(1/COUNT(A2:A10)),"")

    Adjust the range to suit.

    It does work but i need it also to show zero when all cells in the range contain text only.
    For example if in the past months Jan, Feb, Mar and Apr there were no activities i input "nothing reported" and it should show 0, but when we talk about future months like June, July the cells are blank (no text and no figures) it should show blank cell without zero. As soon as data entered, if numbers it will count cells, and if text only it will show 0. Is it possible? Please, find attached excel file with an example. Thanks a lot!

    In the sample file there are 3 rows allotted for each month. Will there always be only 3 rows of data per month?

    Try this...

    =IF(COUNTA(B3:B5)=0,"",IF(COUNT(B3:B5),COUNT(B3:B5),0))
