Mukesh, Suppose you want to find the number of instances of a text say
"Mukesh" across columns A:B in the entire workbooks with Sheet names 'Sheet1'
'sheet2' and 'Sheet3', try the below

=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("Sheet" & ROW(INDIRECT("1:3"))&"!A:B"),"mukesh"))

Hi Jacob,

I am using =COUNTIF() and I get result as 1, 2 - is it possible to count
from entire workbook so I know the number of times it has been duplicated.

Thanks.
Mukesh

Dear Mukesh

Duplicates can be cell duplicates, row duplicates. If you are looking at
values within a cell from find window (Ctrl+F) 'Find All' will display all
the instances of a the search string.
