Dear exper
A cell contains a lot of information.
Is it possible to count certan word in a cell please?


Say A1 contains a series of text ....


1. Daily Swing even though Sto is hit high or low
2. Look at Chart pattern
3. Stop at dangerous level


How can I count number of "O" in the cell A1 please?


Thanks
Elton


Hi Biff,

I like that UPPER("O") part :-)

Have fun,
Bernd
