No, the issue is that the -- coerces the ISNUMBER function to return 1s for
TRUE and 0s for FALSE and so COUNT counts ALL the 1s and 0s. That COUNT may
or may not function like COUNTA in this instance is not the issue. COUNT is
only counting numbers here.

Hi
{=COUNT(--ISNUMBER(G95:G98))}, an array formula, counts the range
whether or not the data is a number, just like COUNTA

OK, I figured this out. COUNT counts ALL the 1s and 0s that the -- returns.
Not just the 1s. Duh.

Apologies.

G95 = 1
G96 = e
G97 = 2
G98 = 3

The count of numbers should be 3. However, I get 4. G96 is formatted as
General. =ISNUMBER(G96) resolves to FALSE.

So???
