Like, I said, it's counting the non-Blank cells AND any items you put inside
the parentheses separated by commas 


COUNTA(1,2,3) would give you 3
COUNTA(fred,bill,mary) would give you 3
COUNTA(A1:A7,2) would give you a count of all the cells in A1:A7 that had
something in them PLUS any other items you include in the parentheses,
separated by commas

Okay, so its counting the non blank cells.  That I
understand.  But I don't understand what the 2 is for?  It
adds one to the total if I put 2 in the formula.  )Or 2453.
Or it adds one for pretty much anything I put in the formula
after comma.    So what would you use this for?
