Excel formulas giving #VALUE! error when ported to Mac

Question

I want to be able to sum up the number of cells in a range that have a non-null value in them. On a PC running XP and Excel I entered =SUM(IF(G$19:G$1034=\"\",0,1))

Answer 1

CMD+SHIFT+ENTER or CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER

Where CMD is the apple key. I'm not sure what the keycombination is on mac. But you can check in the help file. Entering array formula
