    COUNTIF (is text)

    Are there a way (formula) to count (in a range) cells that contains text (skip blank cells and cells containing numbers)?

    =counta(a1:a10) - count(a1:a10)

    Another possibility:

    =COUNTIF(A:A,"?*")

    use of ? assumes you wish to discount formula nulls (ie treat as blank)
