Thanks, yoru code gave me an idea. &nbsp;I decided that I wanted &quot;Undecided&quot; if the entry is blank. &nbsp;I need to count the blanks.<br />
<br />
I add an If statement that checks to see if the entry is empty, if it is, then populate with &quot;Undecided&quot;. &nbsp;Otherwise, use that value. &nbsp;<br />

Thanks, yoru code gave me an idea.  I decided that I wanted "Undecided" if the entry is blank.  I need to count the blanks.

I add an If statement that checks to see if the entry is empty, if it is, then populate with "Undecided".  Otherwise, use that value.  



=IF(D3="","Undecided",D3)

I have a problem which involves counts in a Excel Pivot table.<br />
<br />
I noticed that blank cells are not included in the count. &nbsp;Is there a way around this?<br />
<br />
I suspect I may need to add another column and populate the cell with something. &nbsp;I'm asking for some tricks that may be useful in this case. &nbsp;As you can see in the data, my column titled &quot;Used&quot; has Yes or No and blank entries. &nbsp;I want to count the blank entries. &nbsp;How to do that?<br />

Excel Pivot Table - Count Blanks

Office Productivity refers both to the act of being productive and efficient in an office or professional environment, as well as the software applications used to "produce" information. This includes the development of professional skills, creating work processes, and almost any program used to create or modify a document, image, audio or video clip. However, business application suites such as Microsoft Office, which include word processing, spreadsheet and presentation programs, are typically called productivity software, as contrasted with a "utility program," such as a file manager, which is used to organize files and folders on the computer. Many office- and business-oriented groups of programs are organized into suites.

Microsoft Excel topics include formulas, formatting, VBA macros and user-defined functions, and everything else related to the spreadsheet user interface, including error messages.
