Counting Consecutive Cells with value

[JulieO]

I use Excel 2007 and I'm trying to find code or a formula that would count the number of consecutive cells in a row from left to right until it there is 0, Below is an example of what I'm trying to do:

<TABLE style="WIDTH: 245pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=324><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 28pt" span=5 width=37><COL style="WIDTH: 22pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 1024" width=29><COL style="WIDTH: 27pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 1280" width=36><COL style="WIDTH: 28pt" span=2 width=37><TBODY><TR style="HEIGHT: 14.4pt" height=19><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid;

Hi Peter!

You have saved me hours of mindless scrolling, your knowledge is priceless! Thanks a ton!

It works wonders for me.

I hate to put one more request, please take a look if you can help.

I am moving things to Google sheets to be more accessible, the formula you have highlighed works perfectly with Excel, but doesnt' work in Google Sheets, it just counts the filled cells.

Let me know if more information is required and I shall send it asap.

This is an Excel forum & I only answer questions on that topic so I am unable to help in relation to Google Sheets. Perhaps somebody else might take up that issue for you.
