    Hi All,

    I need help.
    I want to count the names of each row under one column.
    For e.g., if the name is Poetic Ammo, i count it as 1.
    Please find attached excel for reference.
    Appreciate any kind help.

    No it doesn't work... Sorry, I edited the post after you'd seen it. Why 8?? Which name doesn't count, and why?

    Re: Count the word in excel

    Hi Glenn,

    For example, when i put numbers right, its easy to count. Whereas word, it is difficult.
    I need to count the total character (for e.g., Poetic Ammo) = 1(thats for first row)
    Second row (for e.g. Too Phat) = Its 2
    Now in total, on row 1 & 2 , i have a total number of 2.

    Hope this clarifies.

    Re: Count the word in excel

    There are 8 rows of data. 7 seem to contain 1 name. the last row seems to contain 2. 7+2 = 9. So why is your expected answer 8????????

    Re: Count the word in excel

    Thats just an example, i am not sure how to make you understand but what i want is that, for e.g., if i have 8 names under one column(separated) by each row, even though the person has 2 names (for e.g., Joe Flizzow), i need to count is 1. So for 8 rows, it is 8 names. If i have 1000 rows, it is 1000. Even if 400 under the 1000 rows have 2 names, it will count it as 1. Your formula works!

    Look at your sample sheet. You said your expected answer was 8. As far as I can see there are NINE.

    Re: Count the word in excel

    Wthe the conjunction "and" in the cell it sure looks like two names. So. Alll you want to do is count the non-blank cells??

    =COUNTA(B2:B9)
