How to count a text in a column?

Ben

Hey there,

I'm trying to count a specific initials in a column with multi initials in each cell, but it doesn't work.

Please check out the image.

Is that a limitation?

Thanks.

I think you might be right that there is no direct way of doing it, I've attached a possible workaround though, using the Find feature to effectively get value to count from. Hope this helps

Hi Tony,

Thank you for the replay, but unfortunately it won't work for what I need.

I'm building a schedule calendar for my team, I have 5 columns: Week day name, Date, Morning, Day and Night. In each shift there are more than 2 people (in each cell). See the picture.

I need to count each individual person, how many shifts he had in the Morning, Day and Night on different periods (week, month).
