How can I count the rows with data in an Excel sheet?

Question

I am trying to count the number of rows in a spreadsheet which contain at least one non-blank value over a few columns: i.e.

row 1 has a text value in column         


        

Answer 1

This is what I finally came up with, which works great!

{=SUM(IF((ISTEXT('Worksheet Name!A:A))+(ISTEXT('CCSA Associates'!E:E)),1,0))-1}

Don't forget since it is an array to type the formula above without the "{}", and to CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER instead of just ENTER for the "{}" to appear and for it to be entered properly.
