Try like below,

count(if(isnull(A),B,A))

or

IF(LEN(TRIM(A))<0,A,B)

Try like below,

count(if(isnull(A),B,A))

or

IF(LEN(TRIM(A))<0,A,B)

Not sure what you are trying. The correct syntax would be: =Count( If(Isnull(A),B,A))

try this

=count(Alt(A,B))

Alt() would fail if A, B have non-numeric values.

IF(LEN(TRIM(A))<0,A,B) - len() never returns a negative value. I guess it's a typo. It would be '>'.
