Default Counting Text from Drop-down menu

Debra

OP is using your DatValMultiSelect worksheet code and wants to count the
number of comma delimited MultiSelects stacked into the adjacent cell.

I suggested counting commas and adding 1

It's not clear what you're trying to do. Can you give an example of
what's in the drop down list and what you want to count?

Hi,

Does anyone know the formulae for counting certain text from a drop-down
list in excel?

I have used all the different COUNT functions i can try and the only one
that was close was COUNTIF but it would not count the drop down list of text,
only the text I wrote into the cell.

Can anyone help!

Thanks, Em
