Counting Words
=COUNTIF([range you want to count],"EMPTY")
Should update automatically if your workbook is set to re-calculate automatically, otherwise you'll have to hit F9 to update the count. Dave -- Brevity is the soul of wit.

Counting Words
Use the "countif" function
If the range stays constant, name the range Insert-Name-Define, otherwise high light the range internal to the formula... assuming data exists in a range of A1:E5 the formula would be countif(A1:E5,"empty") -- Thanks for your help - Joe Mac "Confused at Work" wrote: I have all the same words in a excel huge spreadsheet, just wondering on how I can count all the ones that say the word EMPTY, and they do change everyday, so I need them to update automatically.

You can use the CountIf function:
=COUNTIF(A1:X1000,"=EMPTY") -- Kevin Backmann "Confused at Work" wrote: I have all the same words in a excel huge spreadsheet, just wondering on how I can count all the ones that say the word EMPTY, and they do change everyday, so I need them to update automatically.
