I am trying to find a formula that will add up all blank fields in a range of cells. For example, if cell 1,2,3 have data and 4,5 are blank I want the answer to show 2.

Can someone help me come up with a formula for this?

Jennifer

Jennifer, Good morning.

Suppose your range of data:
A1:A100


Try to use:
=COUNTBLANK(A1:A100)

Is that what you want?
I hope it helps.

How can I add all the blanks if they are not in order? The data I am requesting is say A1, B1, D1, F1.. etc?

Change the cell references to suite your requirement.

=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTBLANK(INDIRECT({"A1","B1","D1","F1"})))

If you can see the picture the formula is not adding up just the blanks. :(Thank you for your help with this.

What is actually in those 'blank' cells?
A 'space' is not blank for example.
A result of a formula formatted as a blank is not blank.

There is nothing in the cells. They are infact blank.

just noticed that the cells that are colored are in fact:
AR4 AP4 AN4 and AL4

unless you have hidden rows.
or that you really are intending to count row 1 in which case I have no idea.
