Hello All,

In VBA, is there another way to count the cell below to give the count of number of "/"? In this case, it should be 5, as I'm counting text that has been concatenated with the "/" as the separator.

I'm currently using this on the spreadsheet =LEN(C2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(C2,"/",""))+1

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
How about
VBA Code:
   Dim x As Variant
   x = Split(Range("C2"), "/")
   MsgBox UBound(x) + 1
