En este artículo, aprenderemos a contar cuántas veces aparece una palabra en el rango de Excel. En otras palabras, contaremos cuántas veces apareció una palabra en un rango de Excel.

0033

Fórmula genérica

=SUMPRODUCT(LEN(range)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(range,word,"")))/LEN(word)

Rango: el rango en el que está intentando contar la palabra específica.

Palabra: la palabra que desea contar.

Tomemos un ejemplo y entendamos cómo funciona.

Ejemplo: Cuente la palabra «feliz» en el rango de Excel.

Aquí tenemos algunas oraciones en diferentes celdas. Necesitamos contar las apariciones de la palabra «feliz» en ese rango.

Escribe esta fórmula en la celda D2.

=SUMPRODUCT(LEN(A2:A4)-LEN(< a href="`link:/office-skill-es/excel-text-formulas-excel-substitute-function[LEN]`(A2:A4):

this returns count of characters in each cell as an array \{49;27;34}.

Next `link:/office-skill-es/excel-text-formulas-len-function-in-excel[LEN]`(`link:/office-skill-es/excel-text-formulas-excel-substitute-function[SUBSTITUTE]`(A2:A4,D1,"")):

The substitute function repaces word in D1 with “” in each cell of range A2:A4. Then Len function returns count of characters from this substituted sentences in an array \{39;22;29}.

`link:/office-skill-es/excel-text-formulas-len-function-in-excel[LEN]`(D1):

this returns the length of word in D1 which 5 (happy).

Now the formula is simplified to `link:/office-skill-es/summing-excel-sumproduct-function[SUMPRODUCT]`(\{49;27;34} - \{39;22;29})/5. After subtraction of arrays, SUMPRODUCT has SUMPRODUCT(\{10;5;5})/5. The function adds the array and we get 20/5.

Which gives us our result 4.



===  Counting Case-Insensitive

Since SUBSTITUTE is case sensitive, above formula will ignore any word not having same case, i.e. “Happy”. To make the above formula ignore case, we must change case of each word to case of word we are looking for. This how it’s done.

SUMPRODUCTO (LEN (A2: A4) -LEN (SUBSTITUTE (UPPER (A2: A4), UPPER (D1), «»))) / LEN (D1)

Now the case doesn’t matter anymore. This function will count each word in D1 irrespective of case.



===  Possible Errors:

Word part of another word will be counted: In this example, if we had word “happyness” (just for example, I know there’s no word as this) it would have been counted too. To avoid this you could have surrounded the words with speces, “ ” &D1& “ ”. But when word appears first or last in sentence, this will fail too.
