I'm trying to modify this VBA Code I found at another site to be able to count duplicates with unique values that sometimes have delimiters. I messaged the site owner and haven't received a response so I am asking here for your help.
I have data in a column and sometimes the data has delimiters (always a forward slash). For example:
AA
CC
BB
AA/CC
AA/BB/CC
I would like to display the number of each unique value found. So in my example the result would be:
AA - 3
BB - 2
CC - 3

VBA Code:
Sub Count_Duplicates_With_Unique_Values()

Set Rng = Range("B3:B13")

Count = 0
Count2 = 0
Output = ""
Match = False

Dim Elements() As Variant
ReDim Elements(0)
Elements(0) = "ExcelDemy"

For i = 1 To Rng.Rows.Count
    For j = LBound(Elements) To UBound(Elements)
        If Elements(j) = Rng.Cells(i, 1).Value Then

            Match = True
            Exit For
        End If
    Next j
    If Match = False Then
        Count2 = Count2 + 1
        ReDim Preserve Elements(Count2)
        Elements(Count2) = Rng.Cells(i, 1).Value
        For j = 1 To Rng.Rows.Count
            If Rng.Cells(j, 1) = Rng.Cells(i, 1) Then
                Count = Count + 1
            End If
        Next j
        Output = Output + vbNewLine + Rng.Cells(i, 1) + ": " + Str(Count)
        Count = 0
    End If
    Match = False
Next i

MsgBox Output

End Sub

The code works great but it just doesn't work with delimiters. Thank you for your help.

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
VBA Code:
Sub Count_Unique()
   
     Set dict = CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
     dict.comparemode = vbTextCompare 'not case sensitive
     
     Set c = Range("B3:B13")
     For Each cl In c.Cells
          sp = Split(cl.Value, "/") 'split on "/"
          For i = 0 To UBound(sp) 'each part
               dict(sp(i)) = dict(sp(i)) + 1
          Next
     Next
     
     With Range("D1").Resize(dict.Count)
          .Value = Application.Transpose(dict.keys)
          .Offset(, 1).Value = Application.Transpose(dict.items)
     End With

End Sub
