    Pivot table picks up empty cell from formula which returns BLANK

    Hi, I have a problem with my Pivot Table.

    I have my Pivot Table range to capture the 5,000 rows where I have my Date because from time to time I will add new rows which will populate my Date with a formula.

    My formula is set to be blank if there is nothing there, but that cell still comes up as COUNT in my pivot.. So I have 4200 items for empty cell in my Pivot showing up.

    Does anyone know whether there is a workaround this?

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    its probably taken the "" as a count
    if that is the case

    COUNT (range) - Countif(range,"") should workaround

    CountA could also be used in mix but i am not 100% sure how it could be used without data to try it on
