Well, you were paying attention. Your final assertion that COUNTIF will
not do what you're after in a single cell is correct. Now, I don't know
which function you would use to do that but I know how I would approach
the problem with VBA:
Sub HowManyEsNMinuses()
arrSplit = Split(LCase(Range("A1").Value), "-")
Range("A2").Value = UBound(arrSplit)
arrSplit = Split(LCase(Range("A3").Value), "e")
Range("A4").Value = UBound(arrSplit)
End Sub
Using your two examples and assuming the first was placed in cell A1 and
the second in A3, you'd get 2 in A2 and 4 in A4.
