I want to count the number of times a particular string appears in a worksheet and place the result in another cell. Sometimes the same string appears in a cell 2 times and I want to count this instance twice (I am counting teams in a sporting fixture and sometimes teams from the same clubs play each other – eg SaintsDX vs SaintsMT)
I have tried Countif but this only counts the number of cells containing the string and does not account for cases where the string appears twice in a cell. The only thing I have found that counts the string twice if it appears twice in a cell is Find and Replace. However, I also want to capture the result and cut and paste it into another cell - doing Find and Replace I can only see the number of instances of it and then type into another field.
Any ideas? Ideally I am looking for a manual way to do this (like Find and Replace) which I can record into a macro.
