Using if statement to count rows

I was wondering if it is possible to use an if else statement when you are counting rows. So I am importing data from one workbook to another. If the cell in column U is empty, it will not import it but go to the next one.

However, the total count of imported rows is still counting the skipped one, since it is counting from the selected area.

So is it possible to exclude the ones that might have an empty cell in column U?

For Each c In valg.Cells
   If wkbCurrent.ActiveSheet.Range("U" & c.Row) <> "" Then

      ' Macro runs here

   Else
      MsgBox wkbCurrent.ActiveSheet.Range("H" & c.Row) & " must have an MDS ID" & vbNewLine & "Skipping this supplier and continue the import", vbCritical, "Error"
     'Exit Sub
   End If
Next

    ' Find the number of rows that is copied over
    wkbCurrent.ActiveSheet.Activate
    areaCount = Selection.Areas.Count
    If areaCount <= 1 Then
         MsgBox "The selection contains " & Selection.Rows.Count & " suppliers."
         ' Write it in A10 in CIF LISTEN
         wkbNew.Worksheets(1).Range("A10").Value = "COMMENTS: " & Selection.Rows.Count & " Suppliers Added"
    Else
        i = 1
        For Each A In Selection.Areas
            'MsgBox "Area " & I & " of the selection contains " & _
                a.Rows.count & " rows."
            i = i + 1
            rwCount = rwCount + A.Rows.Count
        Next A
        MsgBox "The selection contains " & rwCount & " suppliers."
        ' Write it in A10 in CIF LISTEN
        wkbNew.Worksheets(1).Range("A10").Value = "COMMENTS: " & rwCount & " Suppliers Added"
    End If
