Hey guys,

Can someone assist me in writing a formula for counting how many "I" are in a range of cells. For example I have a range of cells B11:AF12 that have different letters in it to identify the kind of Lead Source we receive. "I" represents Internet. I need to find out how many I's are in that range of cells. Keep in mind there could be multiple I's in a single cell.

Thanks guys!

Copy PDF to Excel
Select data in PDF. Paste to Microsoft Word. Copy from Word and paste to Excel.
Try this:

Code:
Dim arr, i As Long, j As Long, L1 As Long, L2 As Long

arr = Range("B11:AF12")


For i = LBound(arr, 1) To UBound(arr, 1)
    For j = LBound(arr, 2) To UBound(arr, 2)
        L1 = L1 + Len(arr(i, j))
        arr(i, j) = Replace(LCase(arr(i, j)), "i", "")
        L2 = L2 + Len(arr(i, j))
    Next
Next


MsgBox "Number of character I in the range is " & L1 - L2

You could use:

=SUMPRODUCT(LEN(B11:AF12)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B11:AF12,"I","")))
