For counting total number of cells with nonzero values in Excel, here we will show you two methods. Please browse for more details.
Count number of cells with nonzero values with formula
Count number of cells with nonzero values with Kutools for Excel
Count number of cells with nonzero values with formula
Supposing you have a range of data as below screenshot shown. For counting numbers of cells with nonzero values, please do as follows.
1. Select a blank cell for locating the counting result (here I select cell H1). Copy and paste formula =COUNTIF(A1:E8,”<>0″) into the Formula Bar, and then press the Enter key. See screenshot:
2. Then the total number of nonzero values of the selected range is counted and displayed in cell H1.
Notes:
1. With the above formula, you may count the non-zero cells which including blank cells. If you want to ignoring both the zero cells and blank cells, please apply this formula: =COUNTA(A1:D10)-COUNTIF(A1:D10,”=0″), then press Enter key to get the result, see screenshot:
2. With above formulas, you can count the total number of cells with nonzero values in a row, column or range in Excel with changing the cell references in the formula.
