Use following formula in a custom column

= List.Count(Text.Split([skills],","))

When you run above list function, you want to change your data to a list first. Then it can return your number.

Hi @AtchayaP ,

Do your cells contain duplicate or empty skills? If so, please try this formula to see if it returns the correct result.

= List.Count(List.RemoveItems( List.Distinct( Text.Split([skills],",")), {null,""," "} ))

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.
Best Regards,
