Default Count values between commas

Yes....In my testing I evidently transposed A2 and B2.

Thanks for catching that.

B2 should be A2 ?

Try something like this:

=LEN(B2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B2,",",""))+1


Does that help?

I need to be able to count how many entries are separated by commas. For
instance, in cell A2, I have:
AB1, AB2, AB3, AB4.
In cell B2, I want to display the number 4 because there are 4 values.

So if I have
AXX2, Ax3, A3TU0
In cell B2, I want to display the number 3 because there are 3 values.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance.
