Improved Word Count Macro

Dec 17, 2008

At my company I work with a lot of text-filled Excel files. In order to get a proper word count we're currently using the primitive method of "paste into Word and run a word count". I'd like to be able to do this from within Excel, and I found the macro below but have run into a snag.

The problem I have is that it ignores carriage returns and count the last word in the first line and the first word in the following line as one word. In the files I work with this can throw off the count by thousands of words. So if I run this macro against a cell containing a single text string:

<My name is Amejin and
I like pizza and beer> - 10 words

The macro reads it as:
<My name is Amejin andI like pizza and beer> - 9 words

So, essentially I need a method of changing carriage returns into spaces so that the macro will return the proper count.

Excel 2003 :: Count How Many Times A Word Is In A Range / Word Can Be In Cell More Than Once

Feb 16, 2012

I need to count how many times the word Test is in the range B4:H9 with

Range N2 = Test the formula below works if Test is only in the cell once.

=COUNTIF($B$4:$H$9,"*" & N2 & "*")

But I have data in cells like below, this is all in one cell, so how would I have it count all the times test is in the range when some cells have test 2 or more times in a single cell?

5
Test
8am-2pm
Test

Word Count To Deadline

May 29, 2014
