Empty cell with a formula in an excel report
An excel sheet is made of empty cells and each time I fill a cell, there are less empty cells but sometimes, when I extract a data from a tool, amongst the cells with data, there are some empty ones and I may need to know which one and how much.
When I use the formula ?
When I need to show which one and how much.
How to use the formula ?
The formula in this topic is with "," so depending of the operating system of your PC, the formula should have ";" instead of ",".
How is/are the formula(s) ?
=IF()
=COUNTBLANK()
=COUNTA()
=COUNTIF()
=COUNTIFS()
To display if the cell is empty or not:
=IF(A2<>"","not empty","empty")
To count empty cells amongst cells with data:
=COUNTBLANK(A2:A11) or =COUNTIF(A2:A11,"<>*")
The other way is to count cells that are not empty:
=COUNTA(A:A) or =COUNTIF(A:A,"*")
To count empty cells for a specific product:
=COUNTIFS(B:B,"",A:A,"chocolate")
The other way is to count cells that are not empty for this specific product:
=COUNTIFS(B:B,"<>",A:A,"chocolate")
