Default Counting words in column

For some reason the original post isn't showing in Google Groups, so
I'll have to reply to Glenn's.

If every contact has an email address, then perhaps you could use
something like this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEN(E1:E100)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(E1:E100,"@",""))))

assuming email addresses are in column E, with maybe more than one per
cell.

Hope this helps.

Pete

I would like to count how many contacts per company. *I tried all sorts of
Count and CountA expressions but no luck. *


Any help is greatly appreciated.
