=IF(IF(LEN(A2)=0,0,LEN(TRIM(A2))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(A2)," ","")))<>2,"ERROR",A2)

QUESTION: Thanks for your reply..its almost done..aehehe...I would like to ask if where I will put the number of words..??The longestI have is 12..so where I will put that 12..??Thanks and advance..:-)

Answer

=IF(IF(LEN(A2)=0,0,LEN(TRIM(A2))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(A2)," ","")))<>2,"ERROR",A2)

In the above formula "<>2" - this is for ifcount is not equal to 2. If you would like to consider 12 as valid count then change this part as "<> 12" .

Otherwise, if you only consider count 2 is valid, then use the above formula as it is whatever the length of thecounts.

If I'm unable to explain, please send me same data with example.
