i want to be able to stop a user adding more then 100 words into a cell. i have a cell B16 in which the user puts in a description and i want to limit it to 100 words
 

Excel Facts

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
You could use a data validation formula eg:

=LEN(B16)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B16," ",""))<100
