See three formulas for counting blanks or Not Started (OR criteria):
1. COUNTIF + COUNTIF
2. SUMPRODUCT
3. SUM COUNTIF with array constant criteria

Cool Formula From Aladin at Mr Excel Message Board
Me too!
Technically it is not an array formula because it does not use Ctrl + Shift + Enter. The last formula contains an "array constant" but it does not require Ctrl + Shift + Enter.
However, one problem with the last one is that you are hard coding the criteria into the formula. If you don't want to do that, I like the first one COUNTIF + COUNTIF. That is why I teach the COUNTIF + COUNTIF.

I think I like the last array formula. Quick and easy. Thanks Mike.
