I've got a giant spreadsheet full of data and I'm trying to generate some statistics on it.
Is there anyway to count comma's within an individual cell?
Situation:
some cells have 1 piece of data and no commas
e.g. data1
some cells have 2 pieces of data separated by a comma
e.g. data1, data2
some cells have 3 pieces of data separated by commas
e.g. data1, data2, data3
is there a function that will count the number of commas within a single cell so I can determine instances of singles, doubles and triples?
Are there any other ways to count the number of data pieces within a cell besides my hypothetical method?
Thanks in advance for any help!
