Remarks
You can use columns containing any type of data, but only numbers are counted. The COUNT function counts the rows that contain the following kinds of values −
- Number
- Dates
If the row contains text that cannot be translated into a number, the row is not counted. When the function finds no rows to count, it returns a blank. When there are rows, but none of them meet the specified criteria, then the function returns 0.
