If you need a quick way to count rows that contain data, select all the cells in the first column of that data (it may not be column A). Just click the column header. The status bar, in the lower-right corner of your Excel window, will tell you the row count.

Do the same thing to count columns, but this time click the row selector at the left end of the row.

The status bar then displays a count, something like this:

A row count in the Excel status bar

If you select an entire row or column, Excel counts just the cells that contain data. If you select a block of cells, it counts the number of cells you selected. If the row or column you select contains only one cell with data, the status bar stays blank.

Notes: 

  • If you need to count the characters in cells, see Count characters in cells.

  • If you want to know how many cells have data, see Use COUNTA to count cells that aren’t blank.

  • You can control the messages that appear in the status bar by right-clicking the status bar and clicking the item you want to see or remove. For more information, see Excel status bar options.

#1 – Excel Count Rows which has only the Data

Firstly, we will see how to count the number of rows in Excel with the data. There could be empty rows between the data, but we often need to ignore them and find exactly how many rows contain the data in it.

  1. We can count the number of rows with data by selecting the range of cells in Excel. For example, take a look at the below data.

    Row Count Example 1

    We have a total of 10 rows (border inserted area). In this 10 row, we want to count exactly how many cells have data. Since this is a small list of rows, we can easily calculate the number of rows. But when it comes to the huge database, it is impossible to count manually. So, this article will help you with this.

  2. Firstly, we must select all the rows in Excel.

    Row Count Example 1-1

  3. It is not telling us how many rows contain the data here. Instead, look at the Excel screen’s right-hand side bottom, i.e., a status bar.

    Row Count Example 1-2

    Take a look at the red circled area. It says COUNT as 8, which means that out of 10 selected rows, 8 have data.

  4. Now, we will select one more row in the range and see what the count will be.

    Row Count Example 1-3

  5. We have selected 11 rows, but the count says 9, whereas we have data only in 8 rows. When we closely examine the cells, the 11th row contains a space.

    Row Count Example 1-4
    Even though there is no value in the cell and it has only space Excel will be treated as the cell which contains the data.

#2 – Count all the rows that have the data

We know how to check how many rows contain the data quickly. But that is not the dynamic way of counting rows that have data. Instead, we need to apply the COUNTA function to count how many rows contain the data.

We will apply the COUNTA function in the D3 cell.

Row Count Example 2

So, the total number of rows containing the data is 8 rows. Even this formula treats space as data.

Row Count Example 2-1

#3 – Count the rows that only have the numbers

Here we want to count how many rows contain only numerical values.

Row Count Example 3

We can easily say 2 rows contain numerical values. Let us examine this by using a formula. We have a built-in formula called COUNT which counts only numerical values in the supplied range.

Row Count Example 3-1

We will apply the COUNT function in cell B1 and select the range as A1 to A10.

Row Count Example 3-2

The COUNT function also says 2 as a result. So, out of 10 rows, only rows contain numerical values.

Example 3-3

#4 – Count Rows, which only has the Blanks

We can find only blank rows by using the COUNTBLANK function in Excel.

Example 4

We have 2 blank rows in the selected range, which are revealed by the count blank function.

Row Count Example 4-1

#5 – Count rows that only have text values

Remember, we do not have any straight in the COUNTTEXT function. Unlike in previous cases, we need to think differently here. We can use the COUNTIF functionThe COUNTIF function in Excel counts the number of cells within a range based on pre-defined criteria. It is used to count cells that include dates, numbers, or text. For example, COUNTIF(A1:A10,”Trump”) will count the number of cells within the range A1:A10 that contain the text “Trump”
read more with a wildcard character asterisk (*).

Example 5

Here all the magic is done by the wildcard character asterisk (*). It matches any of the alphabets in the row and returns the result as a text value row. Even if the row contains numerical and text values, it will be treated as text value only.

#6 – Count all of the rows in the range

Now comes the important part. How do we count how many rows we have selected? One uses the Name Box in excel, which is limited while still choosing the rows. But how do we measure then?

Example 6

We have a built-in ROWS formula, which returns how many rows are selected.

Example 6-1

Things to Remember

  • Even space is treated as a value in the cell.
  • If the cell contains numerical and text values, it will be treated as a text value.
  • ROW may return the current row we are in, but ROWS will return how many are in the supplied range even though there is no data in the rows.

Ways to count values in a worksheet

Counting is an integral part of data analysis, whether you are tallying the head count of a department in your organization or the number of units that were sold quarter-by-quarter. Excel provides multiple techniques that you can use to count cells, rows, or columns of data. To help you make the best choice, this article provides a comprehensive summary of methods, a downloadable workbook with interactive examples, and links to related topics for further understanding.

Note: Counting should not be confused with summing. For more information about summing values in cells, columns, or rows, see Summing up ways to add and count Excel data.

Download our examples

You can download an example workbook that gives examples to supplement the information in this article. Most sections in this article will refer to the appropriate worksheet within the example workbook that provides examples and more information.

In this article

Simple counting

You can count the number of values in a range or table by using a simple formula, clicking a button, or by using a worksheet function.

Excel can also display the count of the number of selected cells on the Excel status bar. See the video demo that follows for a quick look at using the status bar. Also, see the section Displaying calculations and counts on the status bar for more information. You can refer to the values shown on the status bar when you want a quick glance at your data and don’t have time to enter formulas.

Video: Count cells by using the Excel status bar

Watch the following video to learn how to view count on the status bar.

Use AutoSum

Use AutoSum by selecting a range of cells that contains at least one numeric value. Then on the Formulas tab, click AutoSum > Count Numbers.

Excel returns the count of the numeric values in the range in a cell adjacent to the range you selected. Generally, this result is displayed in a cell to the right for a horizontal range or in a cell below for a vertical range.

Add a Subtotal row

You can add a subtotal row to your Excel data. Click anywhere inside your data, and then click Data > Subtotal.

Note: The Subtotal option will only work on normal Excel data, and not Excel tables, PivotTables, or PivotCharts.

Also, refer to the following articles:

Count cells in a list or Excel table column by using the SUBTOTAL function

Use the SUBTOTAL function to count the number of values in an Excel table or range of cells. If the table or range contains hidden cells, you can use SUBTOTAL to include or exclude those hidden cells, and this is the biggest difference between SUM and SUBTOTAL functions.

The SUBTOTAL syntax goes like this:

To include hidden values in your range, you should set the function_num argument to 2.

To exclude hidden values in your range, set the function_num argument to 102.

Counting based on one or more conditions

You can count the number of cells in a range that meet conditions (also known as criteria) that you specify by using a number of worksheet functions.

Video: Use the COUNT, COUNTIF, and COUNTA functions

Watch the following video to see how to use the COUNT function and how to use the COUNTIF and COUNTA functions to count only the cells that meet conditions you specify.

Count cells in a range by using the COUNT function

Use the COUNT function in a formula to count the number of numeric values in a range.

In the above example, A2, A3, and A6 are the only cells that contains numeric values in the range, hence the output is 3.

Note: A7 is a time value, but it contains text ( a.m.), hence COUNT does not consider it a numerical value. If you were to remove a.m. from the cell, COUNT will consider A7 as a numerical value, and change the output to 4.

Count cells in a range based on a single condition by using the COUNTIF function

Use the COUNTIF function function to count how many times a particular value appears in a range of cells.

Count cells in a column based on single or multiple conditions by using the DCOUNT function

DCOUNT function counts the cells that contain numbers in a field (column) of records in a list or database that match conditions that you specify.

In the following example, you want to find the count of the months including or later than March 2016 that had more than 400 units sold. The first table in the worksheet, from A1 to B7, contains the sales data.

DCOUNT uses conditions to determine where the values should be returned from. Conditions are typically entered in cells in the worksheet itself, and you then refer to these cells in the criteria argument. In this example, cells A10 and B10 contain two conditions—one that specifies that the return value must be greater than 400, and the other that specifies that the ending month should be equal to or greater than March 31st, 2016.

You should use the following syntax:

DCOUNT checks the data in the range A1 through B7, applies the conditions specified in A10 and B10, and returns 2, the total number of rows that satisfy both conditions (rows 5 and 7).

Count cells in a range based on multiple conditions by using the COUNTIFS function

The COUNTIFS function is similar to the COUNTIF function with one important exception: COUNTIFS lets you apply criteria to cells across multiple ranges and counts the number of times all criteria are met. You can use up to 127 range/criteria pairs with COUNTIFS.

The syntax for COUNTIFS is:

COUNTIFS(criteria_range1, criteria1, [criteria_range2, criteria2],…)

See the following example:

Count based on criteria by using the COUNT and IF functions together

Let’s say you need to determine how many salespeople sold a particular item in a certain region or you want to know how many sales over a certain value were made by a particular salesperson. You can use the IF and COUNT functions together; that is, you first use the IF function to test a condition and then, only if the result of the IF function is True, you use the COUNT function to count cells.

The formulas in this example must be entered as array formulas. If you have opened this workbook in Excel for Windows or Excel 2016 for Mac and want to change the formula or create a similar formula, press F2, and then press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to make the formula return the results you expect. In earlier versions of Excel for Mac, use +Shift+Enter.

For the example formulas to work, the second argument for the IF function must be a number.

Count how often multiple text or number values occur by using the SUM and IF functions together

In the examples that follow, we use the IF and SUM functions together. The IF function first tests the values in some cells and then, if the result of the test is True, SUM totals those values that pass the test.

The above function says if C2:C7 contains the values Buchanan and Dodsworth, then the SUM function should display the sum of records where the condition is met. The formula finds three records for Buchanan and one for Dodsworth in the given range, and displays 4.

The above function says if D2:D7 contains values lesser than $9000 or greater than $19,000, then SUM should display the sum of all those records where the condition is met. The formula finds two records D3 and D5 with values lesser than $9000, and then D4 and D6 with values greater than $19,000, and displays 4.

The above function says if D2:D7 has invoices for Buchanan for less than $9000, then SUM should display the sum of records where the condition is met. The formula finds that C6 meets the condition, and displays 1.

Important: The formulas in this example must be entered as array formulas. That means you press F2 and then press Ctrl+Shift+Enter. In earlier versions of Excel for Mac use +Shift+Enter.

See the following Knowledge Base articles for additional tips:

Count cells in a column or row in a PivotTable

A PivotTable summarizes your data and helps you analyze and drill down into your data by letting you choose the categories on which you want to view your data.

You can quickly create a PivotTable by selecting a cell in a range of data or Excel table and then, on the Insert tab, in the Tables group, clicking PivotTable.

Let’s look at a sample scenario of a Sales spreadsheet, where you can count how many sales values are there for Golf and Tennis for specific quarters.

Note: For an interactive experience, you can run these steps on the sample data provided in the PivotTable sheet in the downloadable workbook.

Enter the following data in an Excel spreadsheet.

Click Insert > PivotTable.

In the Create PivotTable dialog box, click Select a table or range, then click New Worksheet, and then click OK.

An empty PivotTable is created in a new sheet.

In the PivotTable Fields pane, do the following:

Drag Sport to the Rows area.

Drag Quarter to the Columns area.

Drag Sales to the Values area.

The field name displays as SumofSales2 in both the PivotTable and the Values area.

At this point, the PivotTable Fields pane looks like this:

In the Values area, click the dropdown next to SumofSales2 and select Value Field Settings.

In the Value Field Settings dialog box, do the following:

In the Summarize value field by section, select Count.

In the Custom Name field, modify the name to Count.

The PivotTable displays the count of records for Golf and Tennis in Quarter 3 and Quarter 4, along with the sales figures.

Counting when your data contains blank values

You can count cells that either contain data or are blank by using worksheet functions.

Count nonblank cells in a range by using the COUNTA function

Use the COUNTA function function to count only cells in a range that contain values.

When you count cells, sometimes you want to ignore any blank cells because only cells with values are meaningful to you. For example, you want to count the total number of salespeople who made a sale (column D).

COUNTA ignores the blank values in D3, D4, D8, and D11, and counts only the cells containing values in column D. The function finds six cells in column D containing values and displays 6 as the output.

Count nonblank cells in a list with specific conditions by using the DCOUNTA function

Use the DCOUNTA function to count nonblank cells in a column of records in a list or database that match conditions that you specify.

The following example uses the DCOUNTA function to count the number of records in the database that is contained in the range A1:B7 that meet the conditions specified in the criteria range A9:B10. Those conditions are that the Product ID value must be greater than or equal to 2000 and the Ratings value must be greater than or equal to 50.

DCOUNTA finds two rows that meet the conditions- rows 2 and 4, and displays the value 2 as the output.

Count blank cells in a contiguous range by using the COUNTBLANK function

Use the COUNTBLANK function function to return the number of blank cells in a contiguous range (cells are contiguous if they are all connected in an unbroken sequence). If a cell contains a formula that returns empty text («»), that cell is counted.

When you count cells, there may be times when you want to include blank cells because they are meaningful to you. In the following example of a grocery sales spreadsheet. suppose you want to find out how many cells don’t have the sales figures mentioned.

Note: The COUNTBLANK worksheet function provides the most convenient method for determining the number of blank cells in a range, but it doesn’t work very well when the cells of interest are in a closed workbook or when they do not form a contiguous range. The Knowledge Base article XL: When to Use SUM(IF()) instead of CountBlank() shows you how to use a SUM(IF()) array formula in those cases.

Count blank cells in a non-contiguous range by using a combination of SUM and IF functions

Use a combination of the SUM function and the IF function. In general, you do this by using the IF function in an array formula to determine whether each referenced cell contains a value, and then summing the number of FALSE values returned by the formula.

See a few examples of SUM and IF function combinations in an earlier section Count how often multiple text or number values occur by using the SUM and IF functions together in this topic.

Counting unique occurrences of values

You can count unique values in a range by using a PivotTable, COUNTIF function, SUM and IF functions together, or the Advanced Filter dialog box.

Count the number of unique values in a list column by using Advanced Filter

Use the Advanced Filter dialog box to find the unique values in a column of data. You can either filter the values in place or you can extract and paste them to a new location. Then you can use the ROWS function to count the number of items in the new range.

To use Advanced Filter, click the Data tab, and in the Sort & Filter group, click Advanced.

The following figure shows how you use the Advanced Filter to copy only the unique records to a new location on the worksheet.

In the following figure, column E contains the values that were copied from the range in column D.

If you filter your data in place, values are not deleted from your worksheet — one or more rows might be hidden. Click Clear in the Sort & Filter group on the Data tab to display those values again.

If you only want to see the number of unique values at a quick glance, select the data after you have used the Advanced Filter (either the filtered or the copied data) and then look at the status bar. The Count value on the status bar should equal the number of unique values.

Count the number of unique values in a range that meet one or more conditions by using IF, SUM, FREQUENCY, MATCH, and LEN functions

Use various combinations of the IF, SUM, FREQUENCY, MATCH, and LEN functions.

For more information and examples, see the section «Count the number of unique values by using functions» in the article Count unique values among duplicates.

Special cases (count all cells, count words)

You can count the number of cells or the number of words in a range by using various combinations of worksheet functions.

Count the total number of cells in a range by using ROWS and COLUMNS functions

Suppose you want to determine the size of a large worksheet to decide whether to use manual or automatic calculation in your workbook. To count all the cells in a range, use a formula that multiplies the return values using the ROWS and COLUMNS functions. See the following image for an example:

Count words in a range by using a combination of SUM, IF, LEN, TRIM, and SUBSTITUTE functions

You can use a combination of the SUM, IF, LEN, TRIM, and SUBSTITUTE functions in an array formula. The following example shows the result of using a nested formula to find the number of words in a range of 7 cells (3 of which are empty). Some of the cells contain leading or trailing spaces — the TRIM and SUBSTITUTE functions remove these extra spaces before any counting occurs. See the following example:

Now, for the above formula to work correctly, you have to make this an array formula, otherwise the formula returns the #VALUE! error. To do that, click on the cell that has the formula, and then in the Formula bar, press Ctrl + Shift + Enter. Excel adds a curly bracket at the beginning and the end of the formula, thus making it an array formula.

For more information on array formulas, see Overview of formulas in Excel and Create an array formula.

Displaying calculations and counts on the status bar

When one or more cells are selected, information about the data in those cells is displayed on the Excel status bar. For example, if four cells on your worksheet are selected, and they contain the values 2, 3, a text string (such as «cloud»), and 4, all of the following values can be displayed on the status bar at the same time: Average, Count, Numerical Count, Min, Max, and Sum. Right-click the status bar to show or hide any or all of these values. These values are shown in the illustration that follows.

Introduction to Row Count in Excel

Excel provides many built-in functions through which we can do multiple calculations. We can also count the rows and columns in Excel. Here in this article, we will discuss the Row Count in Excel. If we want to measure the rows which contain data, select all the cells of the first column by clicking on the column header. It will display the row count on the status bar in the lower right corner.

Let’s take some values in the Excel sheet.

Row count example 1-1

Select the entire column which contains data. Now click on the column label for counting the rows; it will show you the row count. Refer to the below screenshot:

Row count example 1-2

There are two types of functions for counting the rows.

  • ROW()
  • ROWS()

The ROW() function gives you the row number of a particular cell.

Row count example 6-1

The ROWS() function gives you the count of rows in a range.

Row count example 6-2

How to Count the Rows in Excel?

Let’s take some examples to understand the usage of ROWS functions.

Things to Remember About Row Count in Excel

  • When you click on the column heading for counting the rows, it will give you the count which contains data.
  • If you pass a range of cells, it will return the number of cells that you have selected.
  • The status bar won’t show you anything if the column contains the data only in one cell. That is, the status bar stays blank.
  • If the data are given in the table form, then for counting the rows, you can pass the table range within the ROWS function.
  • You can also do the setting of the message in the status bar. Do right-click on the status bar and click the item you want to see or remove.

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 A
row 2 has a text value in column B
row 3 has a text value in column C
row 4 has no values in A, B or C

The formula would equate to 3, because rows 1, 2, & 3 have a text value in at least one column. Similarly if row 1 had a text value in each column (A, B, & C) this would be counted as 1.

With formulas, what you can do is:

  • in a new column (say col D — cell D2), add =COUNTA(A2:C2)
  • drag this formula till the end of your data (say cell D4 in our example)
  • add a last formula to sum it up (e.g in cell D5): =SUM(D2:D4)

If you want a simple one liner that will do it all for you (assuming by no value you mean a blank cell):

=(ROWS(A:A) + ROWS(B:B) + ROWS(C:C)) - COUNTIF(A:C, "")

If by no value you mean the cell contains a 0

=(ROWS(A:A) + ROWS(B:B) + ROWS(C:C)) - COUNTIF(A:C, 0)

The formula works by first summing up all the rows that are in columns A, B, and C (if you need to count more rows, just increase the columns in the range. E.g. ROWS(A:A) + ROWS(B:B) + ROWS(C:C) + ROWS(D:D) + ... + ROWS(Z:Z)).

Then the formula counts the number of values in the same range that are blank (or 0 in the second example).

Last, the formula subtracts the total number of cells with no value from the total number of rows. This leaves you with the number of cells in each row that contain a value

If you don’t mind VBA, here is a function that will do it for you. Your call would be something like:

=CountRows(1:10) 

Function CountRows(ByVal range As range) As Long

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim row As range
Dim count As Long

For Each row In range.Rows
    If (Application.WorksheetFunction.CountBlank(row)) - 256 <> 0 Then
        count = count + 1
    End If
Next

CountRows = count
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Function

How it works: I am exploiting the fact that there is a 256 row limit. The worksheet formula CountBlank will tell you how many cells in a row are blank. If the row has no cells with values, then it will be 256. So I just minus 256 and if it’s not 0 then I know there is a cell somewhere that has some value.

Try this scenario:

Array = A1:C7. A1-A3 have values, B2-B6 have value and C1, C3 and C6 have values.

To get a count of the number of rows add a column D (you can hide it after formulas are set up) and in D1 put formula =If(Sum(A1:C1)>0,1,0). Copy the formula from D1 through D7 (for others searching who are not excel literate, the numbers in the sum formula will change to the row you are on and this is fine).

Now in C8 make a sum formula that adds up the D column and the answer should be 6. For visually pleasing purposes hide column D.

You should use the sumif function in Excel:

=SUMIF(A5:C10;"Text_to_find";C5:C10)

This function takes a range like this square A5:C10 then you have some text to find this text can be in A or B then it will add the number from the C-row.

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.
