In this post, we take a look at How to Get the Word Count in Google Sheets. Previously I explained how to separate name in Google Sheets. As you can see the word count does matter when it comes to the proper spreadsheet. So let's take a look at how you can use the sheet to count words and also recurrence.
In this video below you can get the idea on how to get the word count from the specific word in the google sheets. But I will be also explaining you how to get the word count too below in the text based tutorial.
Let's consider the paragraph that has a lot of words and out of the same you want to add the word count in another column. So make sure to bring up a long paragraph into the cell. Be it cell A2 and extend that across multiple cells.
So here let's think of a condition. Now I think of the range through which the cells should be checked and also the range through which specific word is checked. Like say "the" is the word that we have checked here and also in context we can easily handle the same.
=IF(A2="","",COUNTIF(SPLIT(A2," "),"the"))
We can also count the number of lines in the paragraph. So say you have the paragraph in the google sheet and also you want to make use of the paragraph to make use of the content and also sort the specific word out it would be reasonable to make use of the below formula. Let's assume it starts from the A2.
=COUNTA(SPLIT(A2,CHAR(10)))
Let's say another paragraph has specific range split between multiple cells.And you want to collect all of that and then make sure to add up in a formula and then make sure to count the specific words from the cell range.
=COUNTA(SPLIT(TEXTJOIN(” “, true, B2:C15), ” “))
That's it in this tutorial.I would recommend you to check the above video for the visual explanation. And also you would be able to learn something new. That would also give an idea on how to get the most out of your formulas and then display the result in another cell.
