Use this :
Function CountThem(rngString As Range) As String
Dim VarArr
Dim ArrRes
Dim varWhattoFind
Dim lngCount As Long
varWhattoFind = Array("Actor", "Businessman", "Athlete", "Dancer")
VarArr = Split(rngString.Value, ",")
For lngCount = LBound(varWhattoFind) To UBound(varWhattoFind)
CountThem = CountThem & varWhattoFind(lngCount) & " " &
UBound(Filter(VarArr, varWhattoFind(lngCount))) + 1 & vbCrLf
Next lngCount
End Function

Subject: $$Excel-Macros$$ Excel VBA: String manipulation and tally (Help
Needed)
Dear Excel Experts,
I could really use your help. I am trying to take a string and with VBA code
tally the number of instances of a word and then output into an excel sheet.
For example,
String >> "People: Tom Hanks(Actor), Michael Jordan(Businessman, Athlete),
Fred Astaire (Dancer), Donald Trump (Businessman)"
I need the vba code to report out two things:
1. The number of actors, businessman, athletes, dancers
2. The items assigned to each person (e.g. Michael Jordan is a businessman
and athlete)
I have attached a sample sheet for greater clarity . I'm sure this is very
easy for you experts, and your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Alpesh
