I have two columns of data
I want a total count (not sum) of the first column only if the corresponding
second column is not blank
--
Thanks

Try:-

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A5<>"")*(B1:B5=""))

Extend A5 - B5 as required

The way you put it, you basically only want to count the non-blank
cells of 2nd col. If so, a generic solution involving SUMPRODUCT (and
not using one of the COUNTx functions):

=SUMPRODUCT(--(B1:B10<>""))

If you want a COUNTIF on A:A (e.g. all the 5's where B:B is not blank,

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A10=5)*(B1:B10<>""))

Note: the -- in the first formula is to convert the TRUE/FALSE that
the expression produces into 1/0 so that they can be summed (logical
values are ignored by aggregate functions). In the second case
multiplication does the conversion thus the -- is not needed.

I think
=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A5<>"")*(B1:B5<>""))
Jeff wanted second column to not be blank
