How can I count the rows with data in an Excel sheet?

Question

I am trying to count the number of rows in a spreadsheet which contain at least one non-blank value over a few columns: i.e.

row 1 has a text value in column

You should use the sumif function in Excel:

=SUMIF(A5:C10;"Text_to_find";C5:C10)

This function takes a range like this square A5:C10 then you have some text to find this text can be in A or B then it will add the number from the C-row.
