Remarks
If you do not need to count cells that contain logical values or text (in other words, if you want to count only cells that contain numbers), use the COUNT or COUNTX functions.
When the function does not find any rows to count, the function returns a blank. When there are rows, but none of them meet the specified criteria, then the function returns 0.
