‍

It is very easy to count the words in Microsoft Excel. Here’s a quick guide on how to do it:

‍

1. Inside your Microsoft Excel worksheet, select the cell where you intend to show the formula and then type an 'Equals' (=) sign.
2. Type 'Len' afterwards, then select it from the suggested results.
3. Subsequently, add the TRIM function. Simply type 'TRIM' and choose it from the suggested results.
4. Select the cell containing the text you wish to count.
5. Following that, end the first part of the formula with two closing parentheses.
6. Type a 'Minus' (-) sign afterwards to proceed further.
7. Enter another LEN function into your formula. Once again, type 'LEN' and select it from the suggested results.
8. After that, add the Substitute function by simply typing 'Substitute' and choosing it from the suggested results.
9. Once again, select the cell that contains the text you wish to count and type a 'Comma' (,).
10. Add two 'Quotation Marks' with one space in between (" ") to denote a single space. Subsequently, enter a 'Comma' (,) one more time.
11. Following that, add another pair of quotation marks. However, delete the spaces in between ("") to indicate that you're excluding the spaces from the word count. End the formula with two closing parentheses and insert '+1' at the very end.
12. Once done, tap anywhere around your worksheet to run the formula and process the result.
13. After completing these steps, the text from the selected cell will be counted accordingly.
