I  have A2 = adrienne, A3 = Joe how do I do the formuala to make their names
= 2
Ron Coderre - 27 Mar 2008 19:10 GMT
This formula counts the number of non-blank cells in A2:A5
=COUNTA(A2:A5)

Does that help?

That didn't work it hasn't worked for 48  hours now

This is what shows as my formula in the total field, I'm using excel 2007

=COUNTA(A154:A157)

If you see the formula, instead of the results
...it sounds like you have Formula Display turned on.

In Excel 2003, you can toggle the setting on/off
by using Ctrl+~   .....that's: Hold down CTRL and press the ~ key

See if that works in XL2007.
