Errors in COUNT, COUNTA, COUNTIF when counting merged cells

I have a column that includes a numer of merged cells. The COUNT functions
are not recognizing the merge, however, and are returning the number of
pre-merged cells that are not blank, rather than the number of merged cells
that are not blank.

I am using Excel 2003 SP2

Thanks.
 
Another reason to avoid merged cells.

Depending on how you merged your data, those "premerge cell's values" may still
be hanging around.

I'd unmerge the cells, clean up all but the topleft cell of the merge area and
try it again.

(Actually, I'd avoid the merged cells and use center across selection if I
could!)
