VBA Excel - Find Text in in Red from column B

Hi

I have this excel file where in column B from Sheet1 i have cells where some words may be in red.

I would like to create a macro that will generate a list of unique words including the counts of each.

Example:
In sheet 1 i can have this:
User generated image
Once i hit the commandButton, it would generate the list of words in red including the counts.
Ex:
User generated image
How can i do that?

Thanks for your help

Good question.

I only want to count if the text is in red only.

I may have about 35000 rows of data and i may have a lot of red text also.
Okay can you have more then one word red in the same sentence or in the same cell??

Saurabh...
Yes, it can also happen that i have more than one word in red in the same cell.
Now i have last question to this before i design a macro for you..between the two words i.e. red and black or even red and red will you always have space as shown in your example??
another good question.

Something yes and sometime no.

Example:
In below picture, last would count as 3
User generated image
Words can also be written like: last,available,double

No space but only a character that separate words.
So i see you got a underscore their..so i can safely say the letter will break once the alphabet gets over now it doesn't matter whether you have underscore or space.. The reason im asking is that their is no way i can think a logic can be written when you have data like this..

redblackred

And you just want to see count of the word red since it's font is red and you want to see count-->2

Or it's like..

areisred

Where are and is and red all in red font and you want to see the count of all of them..So that's why i'm confirming that either its space or underscore and their won't be any continuation like i talked to you in above examples...

Saurabh...
I just went over some weird words in cells and here are some examples:
The distance time option is not allowed for 'Canceled' Load ^1.
Distance Time is not allowed for 'Canceled' Shipment ^1.
The distance time option is not allowed for 'Canceled' Trip ^1.
Distance Time is not allowed for 'Purged' Shipment Leg ^1.
The address was changed and existing Distance Overrides referencing the old address might be invalid. Please indicate what should happen to these overrides.

Distance/Transit Time Override created for ^1 ^2.
Distance/Transit Time Override with the same Distance Engine Version, Division Code, Tariff / Service combination, First / Second Locations already exists.

First and Second Locations are identical. Distance/Transit Time Override cannot be created.
Distance Engine cannot be set to '^1' when countries associated with the two addresses refer to the same Distance Engine ('^2').
Tariff ^1 doesn't have service ^2.
First and Second Locations are mandatory.
Business Hours for ^1 ^2 created.
'^1' must be earlier than '^2' for ^3.

Business Hours don't exist for ^1 ^2.
Business Hours for ^1 ^2 updated.
At least one Business Hour Zone has to be specified when 'All Business Hour Zones' is checked.

Open in new window


I don't see any underscore.

Do you still see that it will not be possible or very hard?
