Is there a formula or function that will allow you to count within a cell?
For instance, I'm going through a spreadsheet and am wanting to be able to
count this data while in excell. Is there any way to have the keystrokes
counted and continue to count? If I press the 1 then the 2 then the 5
have
the cell sount these and make the value 8?
