If you copy down the formula it will parse the first character
I am assuming you want to count A, H and V only if they are the first
character

A-LA41-09-92256

would be 1, correct?

Can I get them separated? Like the A's in one row, the H's in another row
and so on?

You can't use the same cell, you would need a help cell
