Default Count Names


In column A I have data that contains names. Most entries have a commar
between Surname and First name.

I need a formula that will count how many names (rows) have a commar in
them. The numer of rows will change as names are added or removed


Thanks in advance.

To count the number of commas

=COUNTIF(A:A,"*,*")
