Hi,
I want to have a formula in a cell that counts the number of time a certain
word appears in any cell in a worksheet. i've tried using count but it only
counts for numbers, not text.
Thanks,
Jignesh.

If you want to count cells containing a particular substring, so if
your substring were "XYZ" and cell X99 contained "123XYZ456XYZ789" cell
XYZ would count as one match, use COUNTIF, e.g.,
=COUNTIF(Range,"*"&<YourSubstringHere>&"*")
If you want to count every instance including multiple instances in the
same cell as separate matches, use
=SUMPRODUCT((LEN(Range)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(Range,<YourSubstringHere>,""))
/LEN(<YourSubstringHere>))
One way
=SUMPRODUCT((LEN(A1:F30)-(LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1:F30,"word",""))))/LEN("word"))

Missed a bracket
=SUMPRODUCT((LEN(Range)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(Range,<YourSubstringHere>,"")))
/LEN(<YourSubstringHere>))

The formula given by Peo worked....
Thanks.
