Try this...

=LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(LOWER(A1),"w",""))

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to count the char "w" within cell
A1?
For example, in cell A1, waterfall - wc, please ignore the upper / lower
case, I would like to count how many "w" or "W" inside the cell A1.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
Eric
