You can count the number of spaces in the cell then add 1:
=LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,",",""))+1 -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "kokhong" wrote in message ... is there a function can count number of word in a cell example: A B username count kok, hong, Lee chan, NG Ti, Lee after counting A B username count kok, hong, Lee 3 chan, NG 2 Ti, Lee 2 |

Using Trim is a very good idea because, accidently, there might have been
typed more than one space between two words.

One more that will work ok if the cell is empty:
If the words are separated by spaces: =LEN(TRIM(A1))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(A1)," ",""))+(TRIM(A1)<"") kokhong wrote: is there a function can count number of word in a cell example: A B username count kok, hong, Lee chan, NG Ti, Lee after counting A B username count kok, hong, Lee 3 chan, NG 2 Ti, Lee 2 -- Dave Peterson |
