What is the shortcut to delete cell(s) in Excel Worksheet?


The result will give us to know that how many cells which contained the numbers we are using them.

This Excel formula will skip counting if those cells are blanked or having another data beside the number(s).

Here below is a formula:

= COUNT(A first reference cell : An end reference cell ).

Pertaining the mentioned formula above will be used for count the amount of cell(s) in column (s)/row (s) within the range declare in a formula. Not capable of counting the alphabet, symbol, empty cell(s) entered into the cells.

For example, all the cells in the column from A1 to A8 below being filled out with the contents as shown:

No.of column&cell
A
1
ABC
2
_ _ _
3
xyz
4
456
5
@#*(
6
_ _ _
7
_ _ _
8
Ax45*)

=COUNT(A1:A8)

For example: if you select all the cells above and apply the formula, the number "1" should come up as the result. Because the formula ignored the empty cells and all other cells that they have non-number in them.

Therefore, the current column is counted into the ONLY cell:

A4 {456}

These 7 cells following will not comply to the "Count (xx... : xx...)" formula.

A1 {ABC}, A2{---}, A3 {xyz}, A4 {456}, A5 {@#*(}, A6{---}, A7{---}, A8 {Ax45*}  

See the image of the result after the formula proceeded as below for more understanding:


Count the number only in Excel sheet.


The "Count (cells range)" formula can be used by a single & multiple columns/rows or in a range of cells in an Excel spreadsheet.
