Hello,
Hope you're all doing well. I think it is more because I am not phrasing the question the right way, but I can't find a way to get a list of all string values (case agnostic) that occur more than a certain number of times. The data set consists of over 4,000 lines.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide

What are you looking for exactly Steve?:
  1. A list of values, either in comma separated or in a range.
  2. All string values that occur in the column more than four times (case agnostic).
Can you provide a sample of how the data looks?:

That worked great. Is there a way we can add a filter that would allow me to ignore certain strings? Even if its just a matter of adding the strings to be ignored in the code, I can do that.
The reason for this is because sometimes there are words that I want to ignore, like, "in", but there are words that I don't want to ignore like, "S3". There is no hard and fast rule that I can lay down regarding which words to ignore, and which ones not to.

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
I'm not sure where you got the idea that I have a mac. Definitely a P.C. guy.
As @Fluff says, it couldn't be much clearer. :)

Try this

VBA Code:
Function WordList(rng As Range, MinCount As Long) As Variant
  Dim d As Object
  Dim a As Variant, itm As Variant
  Dim i As Long
  
  Const IgnoreList As String = " in to be the are " '<- Note space at beginning and end as well as between words
  
  Set d = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
  d.CompareMode = 1
  a = rng.Value
  For i = 1 To UBound(a)
    For Each itm In Split(a(i, 1))
      If InStr(1, IgnoreList, " " & itm & " ", vbTextCompare) = 0 Then d(itm) = d(itm) + 1
    Next itm
  Next i
  For Each itm In d.Keys
    If d(itm) < MinCount Or Len(itm) < 2 Then d.Remove itm
  Next itm
  WordList = Application.Transpose(d.Keys)
End Function
