How to Count Rows with Value in Excel (3 Examples)

In Excel, there are three ways to count the number of rows with a specific value. These include using the COUNTIF formula, filtering the data and then counting the results, and using the SUMPRODUCT formula. Each of these methods allow you to quickly and easily identify the number of rows with a specific value in a spreadsheet.


You can use the following methods to count rows with a particular value in Excel:

Method 1: Count Rows with Any Value

=COUNTIF(B2:B11, "<>")

Method 2: Count Rows with No Value

=COUNTBLANK(B2:B11)

Method 3: Count Rows with Specific Value

=COUNTIF(B2:B11, "50")

The following examples show how to use each method with the following dataset in Excel:
