    Unhappy Find the words from my word list in a text cell

    I would like that if my text cell includes a word from my word list, then excel count it how many words use from my bag list in the text cell .

    For example my word list "good,perfect,nice"

    and my text cell is written as" today the weather is good and nice"

    then excel must count it as "2"

    could you help for this:/

    thank you very much

    Assuming your list is in A1:A6, and your text cell is in C5

    If your list is in D2:D5, and your text cell is in A2

    =SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($D$2:$D$5,A2))))

    Use SEARCH instead of FIND.

    You have to adjust the range in your formula accordingly.

    Alternatively, you can make the word list into a table and refer to the table column instead of a specific range.

    See attached.

    gozparlak welcome to the forum

    Please take a moment to read the forum rules and then amend your thread title to something descriptive of your problem - not what you think the answer might be. (think google search terms?). Once you have done this please send me a PM and I will remove this request. (Also, include a link to your thread - copy from the address bar)

    Many members search our previous posts, and thread titles play a big part of the search. I doubt anybody would do a search based on your title?

    To change a Title on your post, click EDIT POST then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.

    (note: this change is not optional )
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Regards
    Ford
