Autonumbering formula that ignores empty cells containing formulas and consider them blank

[edge37]

Hello, I'm trying to get a working formula for autonumbering cells (B9:B38) only when they have visible values on them. And when there are blank cells or cells that has a formula with no visible values, the numbering stops or jumps to the next cell with values. I'm trying the formula:

=IF(LEN(B9)=0,"",(COUNTA($B$9:B9)))

And it would work great if the cells that have a formula, but appears empty, would be ignored and considered blank. The formula numbers every cell in the range because all of them have formulas (the formula is just a reference to other cells in a different worksheet of the same file), If I erase the formula in any of those cells, the autonumbering works perfect. Please check the pic where I also explain the case.

Thank you very much

Those cells are unlikely to be "blank" but will probably have a 0 in them. So you need to count <70 & >0

I put it like this:

=IF(D6:D11=0,"",COUNTIFS(D6:D11,"<70 & >0"))

but still do not work, I get a #SPILL! result (did I place the correction wrong?)
Summary: I need to count how many students have <70 grade in column D, excluding cells with formulas but blank.

I tried to put this in the formula:

=IF(D6:D14=0,"",COUNTIFS(D6:D14,"<70","<>0"))

but it gives me a #SPILL! error, maybe I did it wrong.
What I need is to count how many grades are <70 in column D6:D14, but excluding cells that appear blank eventhough they have a formula in them. Thank you

sorry for the double post

Try

=COUNTIFS(D6:D14,"<70",D6:D14,">0")
