=countif(a2:a7349,"")

[Frank]

I need to count only the CELLS WITH TEXT in them and I do
not remember if "" refers to text or empty cells.

Thank you for any assistance you can offer in this matter.

Frank,

Count only counts numbers, CountA counts all, so the difference is (usually,
if you have no errors) text:

=COUNTA(A2:A7349)-COUNT(A2:A7349)

=COUNTIF(A2:A7349,"<>"&"")

Ron,

That counts any non-blank cell.

Yeah...I noticed that as soon as I clicked "Post". I was glad to see that
you had already sent an appropriate post so I didn't bother to send a
retraction/correction.

Also:

=COUNTIF(Range,"?*")

which skips numeric, empty, and cells with formula blanks (i.e., "").
