Count the words in a cell
Try this...
=LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(UPPER(A1),UPPER("O"),"")) Note that SUBSTITUTE is case sensitive. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Elton Law" wrote in message ... Dear exper A cell contains a lot of information.

Count the words in a cell
=LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"o",""))
It's case sensitive, so if you all "O" or "o", repeat the whole formula substituting the other case and add the two results: =(LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"o","")))+(LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"O",""))) Hope this helps, Hutch "Elton Law" wrote: Dear exper A cell contains a lot of information.

Thanks Elton Try the following formula: =SUMPRODUCT(--(MID(A1,ROW(1:999),1)="o")) The 999 in the formula should be any number not less than the number of characters in the text. With the given example text, the returned value is 8. Hope this helps / Lars-Åke |

To be really sure, make it TRIM(LEFT(UPPER("O")))
To be really super-duper extra sure you might want to use: CLEAN(TRIM(PROPER(LEFT(UPPER(CHAR(79)),1)))) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Lars-Åke Aspelin" wrote in message ...
