Excel VBA "else" statement counting wrongly - vba

Question

I have created an "If ElseIf Else" statement that will count the strings in a strings. It does count the keywords/strings that I want to be counted but it is counting the "others"/ Else items wrongly. As shown below highlighted in red, I should only have 6 strings that should be labelled as "others" but it counted as 8. It is a total of 18 rows but on the total results it counted it as 20.
I am newby in VBA and needing experts advise. Thank you.

Answer 1

You should start row_number at 2 instead of 1 because cell N1 contains "Short Description" which you probably do not want to match to anything?
Also you are looping Until a blank cell but the blank cell has already been counted as an "other" cell so this plus the "Short Description" cell probably accounts for the 2 unexpected other cells that are counted. So probably just change row_number = 0 to row_number = 1 and Else: to ElseIf items <> "" then

Answer 2

count_of_others is never set to zero after an iteration since it is out of the loop. This should happen for other counter variables too.

Answer 3

Delete the colon from after your Else and try again.
