Is there a formula which would allow you to count the number of characters
within a cell which match a certain criteria? FIND will tell you the first instance of a character or group of characters. LEN will tell you the count of all characters in a cell. What I need is something like this: FORMULA("Betty Crocker Fruit By The Foot Assorted Fruit Roll Fruit Snact 1ct 0.5oz", " ") = 12, because there are 12 spaces in the text. Alternatively, is there some way to make FIND work backwards and instead of telling you the first instance of a character, have it tell you the last instance? My problem is I am trying to get the "1ct" out of the above example, but the character count and number of spaces varies with each cell. Thanks for the advice, Jane |
