Counting a blank column returns zero.

Examples

TEMP = COUNT(AVG(V1:V5))

Creates a new column named TEMP containing a single value of one (the function AVG returns a single cell in the default mode).

TEMP = COUNT(V1)

Creates a new column named TEMP containing a single value indicating the number of cells containing values in column V1.

TEMP = COUNT(V1:V3)

Creates a new column named TEMP containing a single value indicating the number of cells containing values in columns V1, V2, and V3.

TEMP = COUNT(V1[10:20])

Creates a new column named TEMP containing the value 11 (ranges are inclusive), given that the cells all contain values.

TEMP = COUNT(V1[1:5]:V4)

Creates a new column named TEMP containing the value 20 (5 cells in each column times 4 columns = 20 cells), given that all the cells contain values.

TEMP = COUNT(V1[1:10])

Creates a new column named TEMP containing the value 3, given that rows 1-3 of column V1 contain values and rows 4-10 are empty.
