Hey there! I am trying to count the frequency a certain diagnosis (adenoma) is found within a report. The problem is that sometimes the report contains no adenoma found of no polyp or adenoma found, this can be worded in various ways. The data base I am using is extremely large so I cannot check everything manually. I made a fictive worksheet to showcase the problem you can see below.
My current formula is;=SUMPRODUCT(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("no* adenoma";TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE($B3;":";REPT(" ";LEN($B3)));(ROW($B$1:$B$10)-1)*LEN($B3);LEN($B3)))))+0) however this does not seem to work consistently for either formula. The adenoma formula is pretty much the same just with different ranges and no* removed. I don't really understand why the wildcard does not work.

Any tips on how to solve this? Thanks in advance!
