Counting multiple numbers in one cell
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. |
Hi
if you only want to count the number of entries per cell try =LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,",",""))+1 -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany "clubin" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...

Should B1 be 3 or 4 (3 is a lot more tricky)?

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.

Hi
try: =SUMPRODUCT((LEN(A1:A10)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1:A10,",",""))+1)*(A1:A10<"") ) -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany "clubin" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...

Thank you, I hope to be as good as you one day.
