Count cells in excel with populated values - excel

I have an excel sheet and I want to get a count of the cells by row which is not empty. Issue is that some of those consists of formulas and seems to be counted any way.
The cells for instance: are A1, A4, A6, A8, A10
And im trying to use the simple formula of
COUNTA(A1,A4,A6,A8,A10)
Can a correct my formula to disregard formulas and only count if the cell is actually populated with a number?

Use:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(CHOOSE({1,2,3,4,5},A1, A4, A6, A8, A10)<>""))

Put Range in formula instead of cells.
=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEN(A1:A13)>0))
and you can subtract like this:
=COUNTA(A1:A13)-COUNTIF(A1:A13,">""")

Is there a simple way to have a cell reference that is included in a formula increment vertically while copying formula horizontally?

I want to be able to copy my formula from cell B4 into cells C4,D4,etc. so that the cell reference to B18 changes to B19, B20, etc. and the table column continues to reference [date].
I've tried referencing the cells in different ways, but I am having no such luck. When I try to drag the formula horizontally from cell B4 to cell C4 the reference to cell $B18 doesn't change but the table column that's being referenced changes from [date] to [platform].
The formula is =IFERROR(INDEX(Table1,MATCH($B18,Table1[date],0),2),"")
Does anyone know how I can adjust my formula to do this, or is there a different way to write it all together to make this easier?
You can lock cell references with a double bracket for table columns [[field]:[field]]
=IFERROR(INDEX(Table1,MATCH($B18,Table1[[date]:[date]],0),2),"")

Insert a value to a cell in excel using formula in another cell

I need to insert a value to a cell in excel using formula in another cell.
Say
A1 = "Test"
B1 = formula to insert A1 to C1
C1 = A1
Can I write a formula in B1 to insert value in C1?
I don't need any formulas in C1.
If Yes, What should be the formula?
If there it is next to the cell AND has no value in B2, it is possible, otherwise it is not.
Use Split()
Split(CONCATENATE("Text for B1#Sperator$$",A1),"#Sperator$$",FALSE)
It really depends.
EDIT
Out dated. Only works in google sheets.
Without using VBA or formulas in column C you can't achieve this.
A simple solution using formulas:
In cell C1, paste the following formula and drag it down:
=IF(B1=1;A1;"")
So if the content of cell B1 is equal to 1, your cell at column C will display the respective value of the same row at column A.

Excel, how to increment row number for the SUM function?

I have a Excel spreadsheet with original data in the range A1:A100
I want cell B1 to be the sum of A1:A5, B2 = sum(A6:A10), B3 = sum(A11:A15) and so on. What formula can I use for cell B1, that allow me to copy it to others B cells to achieve the above?
Thanks and Regards,
Nhan.
=SUM(OFFSET(A1,4*(ROW(A1)-1),,5))

How to create formula in excel that can iterate in specific range?

I want to fill down 10 cells with value from B10 cell:
='Disconnect Minor Reason List'!$B$10
Then I want to get another 10 cells with value from B11 cell, then another 10 from B12 and so on.
Is it a possible in Excel?
First approach (better one, since it's not volatile):
write formula in E10 cell: =B10
write formula in E11 cell: =INDEX($B$10:$B$12,1+INT(COUNTA($E$10:E10)/10))
and drag it down.
Second approach: (if you'd like to use single formula)
use this formula in E10 and drag it down:
=INDEX($B$10:$B$12,1+INT((ROW()-ROW($E$10))/10))

Excel formula to find reference used by other cell

Is there a way to find out the address of the cell being referenced in another cell in excel?
E.g. cell C1 contains formula =max(A:A) and returns a value of 10 which is actually referenced to cell A10. Can I use a formula in cell B that returns 'A10'?
And no, I don't want to use VBA at all.
Assuming that your entries are in Cells A1:A7, you can do it this way ...
In Cell B1, the formula =MAX(A1:A7) and
in Cell B2, the cell location of the maximum number in the range (shown in B1) is given by the formula
=CELL("address",INDEX(A1:A7,MATCH(MAX(A1:A7),A1:A7,0)))
OR
=ADDRESS(MATCH(MAX(A1:A7),$A$1:A7,0),1)
Mark as answer if it helps.
Managed to find the solution:
Similar to Kyle's formula, but instead we use match with multiple criteria to be more specific e.g.
=ADDRESS(MATCH(MAX(A1:A7)&"A",$A$1:A7&$B$1:$B$7,0),1)
