count number of occurances of a word in a range
Thanks for your help
This almost does the job, however on some lines e.g. I have Stilo 3 door
Saloon, Stilo 5 Door Saloon and Stilo Multiwagon. How can I get it to
differentiate between different Stilo models?
Thanks

Try something like this:
This formula counts the number of times the text in Cell A1 occurs in D1:D10
=SUMPRODUCT(LEN(D1:D10)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(UPPER(D1:D10),UPPER(A1),"")))/LEN(A1)
Example:
A1: Sugar
D1: Sugar and Spice
D2: Sugar Bears contain no Sugar.
Count of Sugar is 3.
Note: SUBSTITUTE is case sensitive, hence the UPPER function.
Change range references to suit your situation.
Does that help?

I have a range that has different car models. Is it possible to have a
formula to count the number of occurances of a particular world.
e.g. range has ther following data Panda Active, Panda Dynamic, Punto
Active, Punto Dynamic, Punto Eleganza etc. Is it possible to have a formula
that will return the number of times "Punto" is listed in the range, or
"Dynamic" is listed in the range.
Thanks in advance for any help
