What is the difference between COUNT and COUNTA?

RE: Count Functions

Hi James

The COUNT function counts the cells in a range containing numbers. It ignores cells with non-numeric or blank cells

COUNTA counts all cells containing values whether text or numeric. It only ignores blank cells

Hope this helps
