Can Word Cloud tool output information as data and not a visual?

I would like to try to use the Word Cloud tool to find commonly used words then ideally be able to output to Excel to have a data set that list the top words used. I know that the render tools can be used to output the Word Cloud as an image but can it be configured to output the Word Cloud as data? I really only need the top words used but would be helpful to also have a column with the relative size of the words to indicate differences in frequency of it being used.

Can you split your data into individual words using Text to Columns / RegEx and then use a Summarize tool to count by word?

 

The Word Cloud won't output data, but you definitely can work with the data feeding into it to get counts!

Not sure what you mean by comparing size of word, but it sounds like a Length formula!
