Basically I have a large set of data in excel, and I was wondering how to count across a row how many cells are not #N/A?? I think it should be possible with IF and SUM but I’m not entirely certain.

Basically I have a large set of data in excel, and I was wondering how to count across a row how many cells are not #N/A?? I think it should be possible with IF and SUM but I’m not entirely certain.
To count all values except blanks and #N/A errors try COUNTIFS like this for data in row 2
=COUNTIFS(2:2,"<>#N/A",2:2,"<>")If you don’t want to count duplicates then this version will give you a count of all different values (except blanks and errors)
=SUM(IF(1-ISERROR(2:2),(2:2<>"")/COUNTIF(2:2,2:2&"")))that’s an “array formula” that needs to be confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER
Note that the first formula uses COUNTIFS function and therefore will not work in versions of excel before 2007 – this is an alternative that will work in those versions
=COUNTA(2:2)-COUNTIF(2:2,"#N/A")
