Default How do I calculate times each word occurs in a column of cells?

<<<"If the word can occur more than once in a cell, then you'll need
something else."

Here's one "something else"<g, with word to count entered into C1:

=SUMPRODUCT(LEN(A2:A100)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(UPPER(A2:A100),UPPER(C1),"")))/LEN(C1)

If the word only occurs once per cell (or 0 per cell):

=countif(a1:a100,"*yourword*")

If the word can occur more than once in a cell, then you'll need something
else.

Rather than use a complicated array formula, is there a simpler way to

column? Thank you.
