COUNTBLANK(r)
- Where r is the range of cells.
- COUNTBLANK() returns the number of empty cells or blank cells within a given range.
Description
COUNTBLANK(r)
For example, COUNTBLANK(23,45,,"EVEN") returns 1 as a result.
COUNTBLANK(56,"","4/4/2013",,TRUE) returns 2 as a result.
- This function calculates empty cells or blank values in a particular range of cells.
- Cells with empty texts are counted but cells with zero values are not counted.
- COUNTBLANK() also calculates the cells with formulas that return an empty text ("").
Examples
Consider the following table with different types of data in various columns.
COUNTBLANK() counts the number of blank or empty cells in the given range.
| 5 | 3 | |
| 16 | 0 | TRUE |
| 4/4/2011 | 0 | |
| 4 | 14 | =IF(C3=0,"",C3) |
=COUNTBLANK(A1:A4) : Counts the number of cells with blank values or empty cells in the range A1 to A4, returns 2 as a result.
=COUNTBLANK(A1:A4,5,"") : Counts the number of cells with blank values or empty cells in the range A1 to A4,a number '5' and blank ("") returns 3 as a result.
=COUNTBLANK(B2:B4) : Counts the number of cells with blank values or empty cells in the range B2 to B4, returns 0 as a result. value '0' in B2 cell is considered as a non-blank value.
=COUNTBLANK(C1:C4) : Counts the number of cells with blank values or empty cells in the range C1 to C4, returns 1 as a result. The IF() function returns a blank value in cell C4.
