count instaces of text string in range
Steve,
Check out INSTR in the VBA help.
Or you have the worksheet function SEARCH for an Excel solution.

hi all,
your thoughts please?
I need to count instances of a text string, in this example "QR",
across my range. However the "QR" may exists within another string
eg. cell A1 - PROJECT 4338567 QR complete
cell a2 - 433756 testing QR
etc
the below is clearly wrong, but it may give you an idea of what I need
to acheive
for each cell in Range(cells(2, 2), Cells(20, 20)).Cells
if cell.value CONTAINS "QR" then
qrcount = qrcount + 1
end if
next
msgbox qrrcount
excel 97
any help appreciated :)
