Hi
do you need a VBA solution or would a worksheet formula work as well?.
For the latter one try
=LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",""))

is there a way to write a macro that looks at a field of
data and counts the number of spaces in it. i.e.:

Field 1
|Dave Jones 2100 Wind Street Anytown AK 11021|

So I would want the macro to recognize there being "7"
spaces in this record and based on that place it into a
specific worksheet. Any help is greatly appreciated.
thank you.

Peter.
