COUNTA ()
- Parameters are any arguments.
- COUNTA(), counts how many values are in the list of arguments.
- Empty cells and text values in the array or reference are ignored.
Description
COUNTA()
- Consider columns A1 to A8 contain 3 numbers. COUNTA(A1:A8) returns 3 as a result.
- COUNTA((A1:A8),"SUN",13) returns 5 as a result.
- COUNTA(1..100,5,TRUE) returns 102 as a result. Logical value 'TRUE' is also counted.
- COUNTA(1..100,5,TRUE,"ONE") returns 103 as a result.
- Arguments can be numbers, dates, text representation of a numbers, logical values, error values or empty text("").
- Empty cells and text values are not counted.
- COUNT() can be used to count the number of cells of all type of values excluding logical values, text and error values.
- COUNTIF() can be used to count the number of cells that satisfy the given criteria.
ZOS
- The syntax to calculate COUNTA in ZOS is
- Parameter are any arguments.
- For e.g., COUNTA(10,12,17,true,false)
Examples
For better understanding of COUNTA() function, consider the below table that contains different types of data in various columns.

=COUNTA(A1:A7) : Counts the number of cells that contain numbers in the cells A1 to A7, returns 6 as a result.
=COUNTA(A4:A7, 2) : Counts the number of cells that contain numbers in the cells A4 to A7 and number '2', returns 5 as a result.
=COUNTA(B1:B5,"A",11) : Counts the number of cells that contain numbers in the cells B1 to B5 , text value "A" and number '11', returns 4 as a result.
