what I meant is that for example
as you can see the data is zero when there is no issues with the formulas.
=COUNTIF(CR66:CR85,"A1A")
=COUNTIF(CR66:CR85,"A1B") and so on
but for these 3
=COUNTIF(CR66:CR85,"A1B")
=COUNTIF(CR66:CR85,"A3")
=COUNTIF(CR66:CR85,"A4")
the cell is not giving the number i want form this range of data above it is still showing zero.
In general formula works
But on second screenshot you have a lot of merged cells, perhaps here is an issue. Screenshot doesn't give details where the data is.
the second sreenshot is where the data is all other one but the 3 are working correctly and these 3 it just unknown as if it was the merged cells it would have failed for all not just these 3
Populating data means showing either a number or a text. A zero is a number. And a zero is not an unknown error.
So your claim is unsubstantiated.
That's too abstract question, perhaps you could give bit more details - which formula, on which range. For example, SUM(range) returns zero if range is formatted as text or have texts which looks like numbers.
