Count within a cell
Is there any way of performing a count on an individual cell to identify the number of occurances of a specified character within that cell? e.g. Cell contains AAA_BBB_CCC_DDD I would like the number of underscores (3) to be returned and this value placed in a new cell?

Count within a cell
A1=AAA_BBB_CCC_DDD then in B1:
=LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"_","")) Replace "_" with required character HTH "presuming ed" wrote: Is there any way of performing a count on an individual cell to identify the number of occurances of a specified character within that cell? e.g. Cell contains AAA_BBB_CCC_DDD I would like the number of underscores (3) to be returned and this value placed in a new cell?
