“Love how easy it makes Excel for me!”
ASAP Utilities 9.1: Word Count in Excel with ASAPCOUNTWORDS()
Date: September 19, 2025Many clients asked for it, so we built it.
Count words in any cell or range, just like in Microsoft Word
Meet the ASAPCOUNTWORDS() function. Count words in any cell or range in Excel, with the same accuracy you get in Microsoft Word. It handles hyphens, en and em dashes, and all kinds of spaces, and works across nearly all languages worldwide.
This makes it easy for translators, editors, and Excel professionals who need to count words in Excel reliably.
Other improvements include various minor updates, text improvements and fixes for a smoother experience.
ASAP Utilities has helped nearly a million Excel users since 1999. Version 9.1 builds on that solid foundation while staying familiar and easy to use.
We invite everyone to upgrade to version 9.1 for the best experience.
With great enthusiasm,
The ASAP Utilities Team
