To count the total specific characters in Cell A1, for instance the number of times the letter "d" appears in cell A1:

Google Provides Hack For Google Desktop In Google Deskbar.
Google designed the Deskbar with Google Desktop and similar products in mind, because it provided an easy hack to work the Deskbar with Desktop. It's rare Google actually gives this sort of advice themselves, but good for them. Simply:

1. Go to Google and click on the Desktop tab.
2. Copy your URL, which should look like this: http://012.3.4.5:4664/&s=6789012345&q=.
3. Go to the Deskbar and click Options.
4. Go to Customized Searches, click Add, paste your URL in the URL box, but add {1}
   (it'll look like:http://012.3.4.5:4664/&s=6789012345&q={1}) and name it Google Desktop Search.
5. That's it, unless you want to fiddle with the options more.

If you want to put an address in cell on multiple lines, you can use CHAR(10) (10 being the ASCII code for a line feed).
=c3 & CHAR(10) & C4 & CHAR(10) &C5
If you get a bunch of squares and your text is all on one line, go to Format > Cells > Alignment and check the Wrap Text box.
To create a line feed while typing (i.e., not in a formula), Alt+Enter does the same thing.

....That's not a problem at all. That would be one of the reasons I'm personally a fan of open source: that if *I* want a feature, then I can add it myself, even if I'm the only person in the world who wants it.

This is a procedure that I often use to convert dates originating from mainframe downloads into an Excel readable format. The dates come across in the following eight character format -> “20040101” - (Jan. 1, 2004).

Sub StringToDate()
Dim d As Range
Dim r As Range
On Error Resume Next
For Each d In Range("A1:A10")
d.Value = Format(DateSerial(Mid(d, 1, 4), Mid(d, 5, 2), Mid(d, 7, 2)), "yyyy/mm/dd")
Next
End Sub

The macro would need to be modified using the Mid worksheet function to allow for differing string lengths.

1) Default setting is important: Most of the people leave the default unchanged.
2) Sales people should not dictate the site design.
3) Usability: Programmers should be asked to help 100 new users to register.
