  • Arguments that are numbers, dates, or text representation of numbers are counted.
  • Logical values and text representations of numbers that you type directly into the list of arguments are counted.
  • Arguments that are error values or text that cannot be translated into numbers are ignored.
  • If an argument is an array or reference, only numbers in that array or reference are counted. Empty cells, logical values, text, or error values in the array or reference are ignored.
  • If you want to count logical values, text, or error values, use the CountA function.
