Count of Charecters in a Cell

[lprabhu1107]

Hi Experts

I have following weekdays in Column A

Monday as Mu, Tuesday as Tu....Sunday as Su

In Cell A1: Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su
In Cell A2: Mo We Fr Su
In Cell A3: Tu Th Sa
In Cell A4: Mo Th Su

In Cell A1: Each day is seperated by Space
In Cell A2: Between Mo and We there is 3 spaces i.e. One normal space and other two spaces left for Tu
In A4: Between Mo and Th there is 2 Normal spaces and 4 spaces alloted for Tu and We

In Cell B1 i need 7 as count, B2: Count as 4, B3: count as 3, B4: Count as 3.

Days do not get repeated in cell.

I hope i have expressed clearly. Any Solution pls...

Regards

Prabhu

Hi,

this formula gives a different number in B1. For example in Cell B2 instead of 4 the result is 13.In cell B3 instead of 3 result is 15.

I think this much simpler, non-array, formula should also work for you.

Excel Workbook
	A	B
1	Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su	7
2	Mo We Fr Su	4
3	Tu Th Sa	3
4	Mo Th Su	3
Days
