    Count blanks or counta

    Hi All, i was wondering if someone could help, is there a way of counting how many cells are blank if the blank is being created by a formula, the cells i'm trying to count are not contiginous either.

    That wont work for me as the cells are need to count are every 3 along for example, column D1,G1,J1,M1, i know i could use countblank(D1)+COUNTBLANK(G1) but its just far to long as there is around 35 cells to check and was wondering if there was a shorter way,

    Here, try this:

    =SUMPRODUCT(--(D1:M1=""),--(MOD(COLUMN(D1:M1),3)=1))
    Never use Merged Cells in Excel
