Counting The Occurrences of Specific Text Strings

Avatar

Level 2

Hello,

 

I am running a Note Report for specific text strings and was curious how I would go about counting how many times a certain text string shows in the comment.

 

Here is an example of a comment

In this case I would like to have a count of how many times each text string appears.

From this photo I would get a count of:

  • 'Copy/Change:' 9
  • 'Creative Change:' 6
  • 'Creative/Copy Change:' 4
  • 'URL Change:' 5

Is there formula that will achieve this? Thank you in advance!

Hi @Eric_D_Miller,

 

Although our Magic Reports solution could dissect the notes and aggregate the counts of specific text strings, to my knowledge doing so is beyond Workfront's native reporting capabilities.
