What is COUNT?
Counts the number of cells containing numeric values. Essential for data validation and understanding dataset size.
Syntax
=COUNT(value1, [value2], ...)
Example
Formula: =COUNT(A1:A10)
Result: 7
How It Works
Counts only cells containing numbers in the range A1:A10. If 7 cells contain numbers and 3 are empty or text, result is 7. COUNT ignores text, logical values, and empty cells.
