Counting number of time a character appears in a string
=LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"a",""))
will count the occurrence of a in cell A1, if you have a range with strings use =SUMPRODUCT((LEN(A1:A10)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1:A10,"a","")))) -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Henrik" wrote in message ... Does anyone know a way to automatically count how many times a certain character counts in a text string? |

Counting number of time a character appears in a string
FYI, I figured it out:
=LEN(cell_ref)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(cell_ref,"character","")) "Henrik" wrote: I meant to say: Does anyone know a way to automatically count how many times a certain character appears in a text string?
