    excel count function, or any other function used

    Hi to all of you and happy new year.
    was wondering if you could kindly help me.
    im trying to find a formula that counts "x" in cells based on words in another column.
    example.

    Column A1 Column A2
    aaaaa x
    aaaaa x
    bbbbb x
    bbbbb x
    cccccc x
    cccccc x
    aaaaa x
    aaaaa x

    so example with aaaaa = 4

    can someone please help. Dire straits here.

    Thanks ever so much.
