Count the times a specific character appears in a cell
I am trying to count the number of times a specific character appears
in a cell (or range of cells). Anyone know how to do this? Example: The cell contains "Fruit/Meat/Fish" and I would like a formula counting the number of times "/" appears (returning the value 2). Brgds, Harald |

Try this
=LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"/","")) Mike " wrote: I am trying to count the number of times a specific character appears in a cell (or range of cells). Anyone know how to do this?
