EXAMPLE
There are 14 seven-almost primes up to 1000: 128, 192, 288, 320, 432, 448, 480, 648, 672, 704, 720, 800, 832 & 972.
MATHEMATICA
AlmostPrimePi[k_Integer, n_] := Module[{a, i}, a[0] = 1; If[k == 1, PrimePi[n], Sum[PrimePi[n/Times @@ Prime[Array[a, k - 1]]] - a[k - 1] + 1, Evaluate[ Sequence @@ Table[{a[i], a[i - 1], PrimePi[(n/Times @@ Prime[Array[a, i - 1]])^(1/(k - i + 1))]}, {i, k - 1}]]]]]; (* Eric W.
