In this article, we will learn how to count the number of cells that contain text in a range in Microsoft Excel. To solve this problem, we will use COUNTA and COUNT function.
COUNTA function will help to count the non-empty cells within a range.
COUNT function will help to count the numbers containing cells within a range.
Let’s take an example to understand:-
We have a range which is containing both numbers and text.
Now we want to count text containing cells within the range; follow below steps:-
- Enter the formula in cell B2
- =COUNTA(A2:A17)-COUNT(A2:A17)
- Press Enter
- The function will return 6, it means 6 cells are there which are containing the text
Note:-Here, we have used mathematical concept whereby we subtracted the two numbers and output is our required result.
