To count words in Excel you can either copy and paste into Word (bear in mind, that Word does not count exactly and you may encounter big trouble, as this program tends to count the same file very differently on different computers and the differencies may be quite high) or use a text counter, such as Practicount or Anycount, or you can analyse it with Trados.

How do you get word count analysis using Trados (Mine is 2007 SDL)?
