Yes, I reposted in order to try to make it more clear. I think I may have not had one row accounted for in my sheet by I have it working now. And yes, I really do have numbers in the cells. But instead of picking every other line (the only ones with #'s), I just used the entire range (w/letters and #'s) since I was only looking for anything greater than "0". therefore =COUNTIF(I8:R21,">0") worked great. Thanks for the feedback guys!
