token/type count?
Hi, I'm not sure if it's possible to do this in excel (I know you can do i with Perl, but that looks too complicated for me!) but I was wondering is it possible to get Excel to count the tokens/types of words in cell? So I have a paragraph, and I want a measure of how repetitive i is - how many words there are, divided by how many different types o words there are. If this isn't possible in excel, does anyone have an idea how I should do it, besides complex programming things? Thanks, Ciar -- ciar ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ciara's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...nfo&userid=317 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=26429 |

Hi
a workaround: Copy your data to MS Word and use MS Word's statistical features -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany "ciara" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...

The OP mentioned "different types of words". If he/she means "parts of
speech", Word can't count nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, etc., can it? On Tue, 28 Sep 2004 19:56:11 +0200, "Frank Kabel" wrote: Hi a workaround: Copy your data to MS Word and use MS Word's statistical features |

Hi Myrna
AFAIK it can't (but could be wrong as I never use Word's statistical features...) -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany "Myrna Larson" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...
