Count using VB
 

Hi
not quite sure but maybe
sub foo()
dim svalue as string
dim counter
svalue = "x,y,z"
counter = len(svalue) - len(replace(svalue,",","")) +1
msgbox counter
end sub

Hi
you may first explain how you have stored these values?
- different cells
- in a single cell separated by comas
