In a Google Spreadsheet: How can I count the rows of a given area that have a value? All hints about this I found up to now lead to formulas that do count the rows which hav
=counta(range)
counta
: "Returns a count of the number of values in a dataset"
Note: CountA
considers ""
to be a value. Only cells that are blank (press delete in a cell to blank it) are not counted.

countblank
: "Returns the number of empty cells in a given range"
Note: CountBlank
considers both blank cells (press delete to blank a cell) and cells that have a formula that returns ""
to be empty cells.

If you have a range that includes formulae that result in ""
, then you can modify your formula from
=counta(range)
to:
=Counta(range) - Countblank(range)
EDIT: the function is countblank
, not countblanks
, the latter will give an error.
