    Count no. of words in cell, put 0 for blanks

    Hi guys,

    Using this formula:

    =(LEN(TRIM(G2))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(G2," ",""))+1)

    How do I change it to say if a cell is blank, return 0 instead of 1. It is counting blank cells as 1 suggesting it has a word but it doesn't1!

    thank you
    Thanks,

    R.

    Try this:

    =LEN(TRIM(G2))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(G2," ",""))+(G2<>"")
