Help getting count of non-blank cells

[Casey]

Hi,
I am attempting to count the non-blank cells in an 8 cell range and
failing miserably. I have included in the code below a couple of other
avenues I've tried. They are commented out. Setting a watch on colindex
and cnt show that colindex is looping as expected, however the cnt seems
to only pick up formula cells. I need it to cnt any cell in the range
that contains any input.

Here is the Code

Private Sub CommandButton4_Click()
Dim rngEntryBottomRow As Range
Dim Msg As Integer
Dim Response As Integer
Dim colIndex As Integer
Dim cnt As Integer

Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Set rngEntryBottomRow = Range("Below_Entry_Bottom_Row").Offset(-1)
cnt = 0
For colIndex = 1 To 8
With rngEntryBottomRow.Cells(0, colIndex)
If .HasFormula Or .Value > 0 Then cnt = cnt + 1
'Here are two other iterations I have tried.
'If .HasFormula Or .Text <> "" Then cnt = cnt + 1
'If
Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(rngEntryBottomRow.Cells(0,
colIndex)) = 1 Then cnt = cnt + 1
End With
Next colIndex

If cnt > 3 Then
Msg = MsgBox("You are attempting to Delete a Row that contains User
Input." _
& " Delete Row Failed", vbOKOnly + vbCritical, "Can Not Delete Row
with Information")
If Response = 1 Or 2 Then GoTo RET
End If
If cnt = 3 Then
With rngEntryBottomRow
..EntireRow.Delete
End With
End If

RET:
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

this will also count inadvertent space bar

Sub countnonblank()
MsgBox Columns("f").SpecialCells(xlConstants).Count
End Sub

Don,
Appreciate the feedback, but I can't seem to incorporate your
suggestion into my code. I've tried a couple of methods. See Below.

Private Sub CommandButton4_Click()
Dim rngEntryBottomRow As Range
Dim Msg As Integer
Dim Response As Integer
Dim colIndex As Integer
Dim cnt As Integer

Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Set rngEntryBottomRow = Range("Below_Entry_Bottom_Row").Offset(-1)
cnt = 0

For colIndex = 1 To 8
With rngEntryBottomRow.Cells(0, colIndex)
If .SpecialCells(xlConstants) > 0 Then cnt = cnt + 1
'If .SpecialCells(xlConstants)= True Then cnt = cnt + 1
End With
Next colIndex

If cnt > 3 Then
Msg = MsgBox("You are attempting to Delete a Row that contains User
Input." _
& " Delete Row Failed", vbOKOnly + vbCritical, "Can Not Delete Row
with Information")
If Response = 1 Or 2 Then GoTo RET
End If
If cnt = 3 Then
With rngEntryBottomRow
..EntireRow.Delete
End With
End If

RET:
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

I've tried all the options below, I can't get a cell with text of a
number to be counted. Do I need a new approach or can someone fix my
code.

Here is the code to date and the approaches commented out.

Private Sub CommandButton4_Click()
Dim rngEntryBottomRow As Range
Dim Msg As Integer
Dim Response As Integer
Dim colIndex As Integer
Dim cnt As Integer

Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Set rngEntryBottomRow = Range("Below_Entry_Bottom_Row").Offset(-1)
cnt = 0

For colIndex = 1 To 8
With rngEntryBottomRow.Cells(0, colIndex)
If .HasFormula Or .Value <> "" Then cnt = cnt + 1
'If Not .Value Is Null Then cnt = cnt + 1
'<<<<<<<<<<<<<Different approaches
'If .SpecialCells(xlConstants) > 0 Then cnt = cnt + 1
'If .SpecialCells(xlConstants)= True Then cnt = cnt + 1
End With
Next colIndex

If cnt > 3 Then
Msg = MsgBox("You are attempting to Delete a Row that contains User
Input." _
& " Delete Row Failed", vbOKOnly + vbCritical, "Can Not Delete Row
with Information")
If Response = 1 Or 2 Then GoTo RET
End If
If cnt = 3 Then
With rngEntryBottomRow
..EntireRow.Delete
End With
End If

RET:
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
