It has a total length of 34 characters, including the spaces. The TRIM() function will give us back The horse under the three (with just the original 25 characters) without the spaces at the beginning or the end. How to Use the SUBSTITUTE() Function in Excel You can see that, similar to the example above with LEN(), when we put the TRIM() instructions in cell B4, Excel calculates the correct value in cell B5. The SUBSTITUTE() function will replace a piece of the text with another bit of text. For example, in the text we have been using there is a spelling error (instead of tree we have three).

We can fix it using the SUBSTITUTE() function. The syntax is SUBSTITUTE(text, old_text, new_text, ), with text being the text we are going to change. In this case, we'll have the text we want to change, and the old_text and the part we want to change ( three) which will be replaced with the new_text ( tree). The complete formula is SUBSTITUTE(B4, 'three', 'tree'). Note that text in a formula always needs to be put in quotes. Just in case you need to know, instance_num is an optional parameter that you use in case there are multiple instances of old_text in the text and you want to change only one of them.

We have learned how to use the above single functions, and now we need to use them together in a somewhat convoluted way.īefore putting them together, let's try to understand how we are using them, and then we will build together the complete formula. How Word Count in Excel WorksĮxcel does not have a proper word count tool or formula, but there is one thing we can count, and that is characters, as we've learned above.
