    Formula To Count Number Of Instances

    Hello everybody,

    I need a formula to count the number of times the same word occurs in a particular column (for example: word Lamp in column A). However, I need those instances to be the same way I put in the column B (manually since I can't figure out the formula). Please advise.

    Thank you!
