Excel COUNTA not working

Copper Contributor

I need to count the number of cells with a date in.

 

I have used =COUNTA(A3:A20)

 

It counts the amount of cells and NOT the amount with dates in

 

:(

@Holly1165 COUNTA counts the number of cells in a range that are not empty. Dates are numbers, so if you only want to add those use COUNT.

OMG, what a simple solution! THANK YOU
