It has many ways, for example:

(Assuming all values are in the column "A"):

 

1) =COUNTIF(A:A;"*")

 

2) =COUNTA(A:A)-COUNT(A:A)

many ways 

for example

say : values are existed in column A

we can use this formula

=counta(a1:a11) - count(a1:a11)=5

 

 

thanks

Count if function can be used for this and it can be modified in many ways.

=+COUNTIF(B3:J3,"*"). In this * indicates any text.

* can be replaced by <0 to get the count of -ve numbers, >0 for +ve numbers and so on.
