Formula or macro that checks: if cell/s contains blanks - if cell/s contains anything other than numbers

[sssecasiu]

Hello,

I have a question regarding two problems that I am currently facing:

1. Is there a formula or macro that checks if a column contains blank/empty cells?
2. Is there a formula or macro that checks if a cell contains anything other than numbers?

Thank you if advance for your answers.

Best regards,
Sevastian

Sevastian,

I'm not sure what your data setup is, nor how you want the results, but hopefully this gets you started in the right direction:

For number of blank/empty cells in a column:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(TRIM(A2:A10)=""))


For number of non-numeric, non blank cells in a column:
=SUMPRODUCT((NOT(ISNUMBER(A2:A10)))*(TRIM(A2:A10)<>""))

Hi tigeravatar,

Thank you for your reply.
The formula for blank/empty cells works great. Even if it doesn't show me which cell/s is blank, at least I know if there are any.

For the second formula, I would like to know if a particular cell in a column contains other characters (e.g. letters, symbols) than numbers.

Thanks,

Given a data setup like this:

In cell B2 and copied down is this formula:
