Hi,

You could have responded to the 2 answers you have in your other thread.
COUNT is not a useless formula, it is excellent at what it was designed to do
and that is COUNT things and you'll get no support for this suggestion.

If your tring to count a particular type of string or number then the
excellent COUNTIF is maybe what you require and there is a full description
of how it works in Excel Help, as there is also for COUNT.

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

Can you change the count function seeing formulas in cells as data. This
makes the function completely useless. I have an array 1000 cells X 500
cells. I need the count function to check on the number of occurances a
particular value is exceeded. The data is read into each of these cells by a
formula.
