How to count the char "w"?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to count the char "w" within cell A1?
For example, in cell A1, waterfall - wc, please ignore the upper / lower case, I would like to count how many "w" or "W" inside the cell A1. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any suggestions Eric |

How to count the char "w"?
Hi Eric,
Take the length of the original and subtract the length with the "W" removed., add same for the lowercase, since SUBSTITUTE is case-sensitive. =(LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"W",""))) + (LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"w",""))) or =LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUE(UPPER(A1),"W")) More of the same type of things on my strings page http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/strings.htm -- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP -- Excel My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm "Eric" wrote in message ...
