Looking to find out, as close as possible, how many RAW Images will fit on a SanDisk Pro 32gb SDHC Memory Card?

The user manual for whichever camera or cameras you intend to use it in will give you a very good estimate.
For Canon T7i, it's found on pg. 107 of the manual.
For Canon 5DIV it's found on pg. 171.

How big are your RAW files?
On my Nikon D750, 24MP set at 12-bit, I get about 1,500 on a 64-GB card. There is slight variation between files, but on a 32GB card, I'd expect around 750 for that camera.
I think you can google raw file sizes and then do the math. There is always some slop in the math as the card manufacturer may use 1000 for giga, but the technology uses 1024. Meaning, less images may be stored than you think. Not a lot, but a few. Good enough for an estimate.

Your camera manual is the single best source for this information, as it depends completely on your camera model and sensor (pixel) size.
If you're asking about your 24MP D3300 mentioned in prior posts, but not here, it will be around 800 images, give or take.

If you know how many megabytes your average RAW photo is, divide into 32,000 and that would roughly be your answer. Example 30 Mb files = 1,067 can be stored. 25 Mb = 1,280, etc.

A little more info is needed like what camera make and model and which raw setting you plan to use. As someone pointed out, the manual will usually have this info too. I shoot Canon cameras and both of my bodies actually display how much room there is on the card after each shot. It's a really close estimate because raw files all differ in size slightly depending on how detailed the subject it.

Thanks, that gives me a good "Ball Park" estimate for my Nikon D3300, at my present level, it will take me many days and Weeks, and even months to reach 800 RAW images.

Depends on how large your your RAW file are. Dividing the card capacity by the file size will give you the approx number of images that the card will hold

You might also take a few Raw images and observe the number of frames remaining on your LCD screen, although many are limited to 3 digits.

On my Olympus, when I put an empty card in the slot, the info panel shows how many shots I will get. You can also take the number of bytes per raw photo and divide into 32 GB to find out how many (which is basically what is displayed on camera info panel). I would assume all cameras show that number.

I only use 16GB cards. I have 18 of them. I download and reformat often. I do not put all my eggs in one basket, I do not use SD cards as storage.

Doesn't the info of your camera screen tell you? Even my "baby" camera does that. When I have my cameras set to shoot RAW + JPEG, it tells me how many shots I can take to fill the card. If the camera is set to just RAW, it adjusts that number.

I think he was asking about card capacity on a 32GB card.

Taking a quick look at my NEF files (D750), they vary between roughly 27 and 34 MB.
