    Counting the number of times a partial value appears in a column

    Right now, I'm trying to find a way to count the number of times a certain phrase appears in a column.

    I'm currently using this formula for exact values: COUNTIF(A1:A5,"Hello"), but this only works if an entry in a column is exactly: "Hello"

    I want to be able to count a column even if it has more words, such as "Hello how are you" etc., and this column would be counted because it has the word "hello" in it.

    Any tips?
