Count specific characters in a cell
=LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"A",""))
or, for a non-case-sensitive version:
=LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(UPPER(A1),"A",""))

It can be done by splitting the data into separate columns and then using a
countif formula but that may not be feasable in the s/s. If you have a whole
column of similar data then it's simple to use the Text to Columns feature.
More info would help.
I hope someone can come up with a way because that would be helpful to me
also.

Is there a way to count the number of times a specific character occurs in a
specific cell?
For example, if cell A1 has "ABC123ABC" and I wanted to count the number of
occurances that "A" showed up, and wanted the out put to be in B1. In this
example the desired result would equal "2".
