I am trying to count the number of specific characters in a field value. For example, how to calculate to number of commas (",") in the string value, below:
"aaaa, bbbb, cccc"
The formula should result in the number 2.
Thanks for your help

Hi Al,
I would suggest you create a new column, with all of the commas replaced with the empty string, and then create another column that subtracts the length of your new column from the length of your original column.
Does that make sense?
Hi,
One option is also to replace all characters except commas and then calculate the length, like:Len(RegexReplace(original_field;"[^,]";""))-Lasse
Thanks for quick reply... Calculating the length difference after Replace ing "," with "", got my expected results... Many Thanks
