What Does It Do ?






This function examines a list of information and counts the non blank cells in a specified column.
It counts values and text items, but blank cells are ignored.










Syntax







=DCOUNTA(DatabaseRange,FieldName,CriteriaRange)


The DatabaseRange is the entire list of information you need to examine, including the
field names at the top of the columns.




The FieldName is the name, or cell, of the values to Count, such as "Value Of Stock" or I3.
The CriteriaRange is made up of two types of information.


   The first set of information is the name, or names, of the Fields(s) to be used as the basis
   for selecting the records, such as the category Brand or Wattage.

   The second set of information is the actual record, or records, which are to be selected, such
   as Horizon as a brand name, or 100 as the wattage.
