What type of data can the "Count" function specifically count?

The "Count" function is specifically designed to count the number of cells that contain numeric data within a specified range. This includes integers, decimal numbers, and other numeric formats. While it does not account for cells that contain text or are empty, it effectively aggregates cells that hold values that can be quantified mathematically.

Understanding the "Count" function's limitations with regard to data types clarifies why it is not capable of counting text entries or other non-numeric values. This specificity makes it a useful tool for data analysis, particularly when you need to quantify amounts or totals within a dataset.
