I have seen how to count the number of occurances of a particular character,
but is there a way to limit the count to just the left most characters? here
is my example
....PLATE - WELD, TAPPED, .312 - 18
i want to count only the left most "." in this case, it would be 3. If I
use the
=LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,".","") i get 4 because of the . in the .312.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks
