Considerations when using the COUNTA?
The only argument for this function is a column. When the function finds no rows that are non-blank, it returns a blank. COUNT function and COUNTA function are identical for all the data types except Boolean. COUNTA function can operate on a Boolean data type, while COUNT function cannot do that.
