Thank you very much for the formula, very helpful. One other

question. Is
there a shorter way to do this for multiple cells in a row (e.g.

a1:a5)
rather than just adding up the formulas cell by cell (e.g.

=(LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,",",""))+1)+(LEN(A2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A2,",",
""))+1)+...etc.)

Thank you again for your help.

I am trying to count various numbers and letters in multiple

cells
that are
seperated by commas.

Example

a1 = 1,4
b1 = 3,89,3,16
c1 = 3a,4,7

I only want to count the number of unique entries in each cell
(meaning a1
would result in 2, b1 would result in 4, and c1 would result in

3,
etc.)

Is there a way to do this?

Please help. Thank you.
