    If you need to count numbers in the mixed range

    =COUNT(G7:G50)

    Re: Counting Problem..

    @Extreming you need a better explanation of what you really need. Do you need to count numbers and ignore text or count numbers and ignore 0?

    That's because 0 is a number. Leave the cell blank if you don't want the COUNT function to count it.

    Re: Counting Problem..

    Dutch =AANTAL(C1:C10)

    English =count(c1:c10)

    This will work, I tested it.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    If you are satisfied with the solution, please mark the question solved.

    See here the reason for crossposting

    Also refer in your file in which cell you want the result (and also add the desired result).

    You don't read the link in #14, otherwise you don't have to ask what crossposting is.

    Re: Counting Problem..

    @Extreming, this is the english part of the forum, if you are having a problem with the language, please post in the non-english forum

    Also, please upload your workbook here, not all members are able (firewalls and stuff) or willing, to download files from file-hosting sights

    @ tasar...posted what twice?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Extreming, please take the time to review our rules. There aren't many, and they are all important. Cross-posting is when you post a question here, and then post the same question on other forums. We allow cross-posting but we require you to provide a link to the other forum if you cross-post.

    oeldere has provided a link explaining why we ask you to include a notice in your post if you cross-post (he should have said, "See here the reason for including a link when you crosspost")
