Adding cells contain numbers separated by comma in each cell

[zanac]

I would like to be able to add different cells horizontally and vertically as well. Each cell contain numbers separated by comma. I don't want to add the value of those numbers but the count of them. I attached example for your ref.

You can use this formula in E2:

=LEN(B2&IF(B2="","",",")&C2&IF(C2="","",",")&D2&IF(D2="","",","))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B2&IF(B2="","",",")&C2&IF(C2="","",",")&D2&IF(D2="","",","),",",""))

then copy down. A similar formula in B6:

=LEN(B2&IF(B2="","",",")&B3&IF(B3="","",",")&B4&IF(B4="","",",")&B5&IF(B5="","",","))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B2&IF(B2="","",",")&B3&IF(B3="","",",")&B4&IF(B4="","",",")&B5&IF(B5="","",","),",",""))

copied across.

Hope this helps.

I hope you learned that this is an impractical way to compile data in a spreadsheet.

Yes, this can be done because there are commas between numbers in the same cell. Essentially, count nonblank cells and commas.
