To count cells containing text in Google Sheets, we will use 2 functions in Google Sheets : COUNTA and COUNTIF . With these 2 functions, users can count cells containing text in a certain data range, or more simply, in just 1 line. In particular, users can count non-blank cells with a special character they want to find. The following article will guide you to count non-blank cells in Google Sheets.

2. Count cells containing text in specific Google Docs
If you want to find the number of cells that contain a specific text string or number, you need to use the CountIf function. With this function, you can specify a text string and then the function counts only the cells that contain that text string.
We will enter the formula =COUNTIF(B21:B30;"Quoc Oai") and press Enter.
