    Try this:

    =COUNT(B2:B20)-COUNT(C2:C20)

    Hi,

    If you are using Excel 2007 you have a countblank function predefined that can be used
    and if you are using excel 2003 you can use =COUNTIF(range,"")

    Re: Equation to count empty cell

    maybe
    COUNTA(B:C)

    for non empty cells
    or
    COUNT(B:C)
    for numbers only

    Re: Equation to count empty cell

    =COUNTIFS($B$2:$B$40,"<>",$C$2:$C$40,"=")
    You can change 40 to greater value if you need
