Count Number of Occurrences in Whole Workbook

[Geshwinn]

Hi guys,

Is there a simple way (VBA or not) to count how many times a string is repeated in all worksheets(except 1st where the result is)?

I am thinking of the find method but can't wrap my mind around how it could be used.

Thanks!

Something like this?

=CountIf(Your range;"your string")

All worksheet except first row:

=CountIf(2:1048576;"your string") in Excel 2007

Not really, I need to search in all worksheets, not just one.

Hi

Maybe something like this:

Hi Schollar, is it possible to do this for sheets from other excel docs?
