I am hoping someone can help me with a vba solution in which a count is obtained, of all the cells in column A that contain the character: "-"
I can do it with a loop, but seems like that might be an inefficient way of doing it.

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest

How about:
Excel Formula: 
=COUNTIF(A:A,"*-*")
