What Does It Do ?  |   
This function counts the number of   blank cells in a range.  |   
Syntax  |   
=COUNTBLANK(RangeToTest)  |   
Formatting  |   
No special formatting is needed.  |   
Example  |   
The following table was used by a   company which was balloting its workers on whether  |   
the company should have a no   smoking policy.  |   
Each of the departments in the   various factories were questioned.  |   
The response to the question could   be Y or N.  |   
As the results of the vote were   collated they were entered in to the table.  |   
The =COUNTBLANK() function has   been used to calculate the number of departments which  |   
have no yet registered a vote.  |
