Example

In the following example, if a grid has 4 rows with the values 10, 20, 30, and, #error. The following formula in the 5th row returns the count of four rows:

  CountA([1:4])

The following example returns the count of four rows:

  CountA(row[1], row[6], row[8] row[where data yields #error])
