I'm having a heck of a time writing a formula that counts how many of the cells are one of the following things: (1) a text string (2) a blank (3) a zero. To be clear, by "zero" I mean that the cell = 0.

Example: Let's say that this is our range of cells, starting with Cell A1. If we have the following cells, I'd like a formula to identify that there are 5 matches to the criteria I mentioned.

I've tried COUNTIF, COUNTIFS, SUMPRODUCT, ISTEXT, ISNUMBER, ISBLANK, AGGREGATE, and various combinations therein, and I cannot get it. Can anyone help me write something that'll work?

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
