    formula to count a specific word in a column and input it intoa cell on a different sheet

    I have a sheet named Passed. I need to add up how many times the word Streets is in column C and put it into cell B7 of a sheet named Chart. What is the best to go about this?

    =COUNTIF(Passed!$C$1:$C$10000,"*Streets*")
