count number of words in cell
Hello,
I need to count the number of words in each cell. Words are separated by a single space.
I use Excel 16.47.1 for Mac (Catalina).
I'm using this formula, but I get an error. Can I have some help?
=IF(LEN(TRIM(A2))=0,0,LEN(TRIM(A2))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A2," ",""))+1)
Thank you,
Stefania

The formula looks OK.
Do you use comma as decimal separator? If so, use
=IF(LEN(TRIM(A2))=0;0;LEN(TRIM(A2))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A2;" ";""))+1)
