Default Checking number of uniques instances of values in text string


I should say that I only need a total figure, it's basically a density
mapping to say "from the liost of values, the text string contains a
total of X of the values from the specified list". So if one value in
the list is seen twice within the text string, it only counts as 1
towards the total count.

I have a numbe of cells that contain text strings. I wish to cross
refer to a list of values and count how many unique occurences there
are of each of those values within the longer text string (which may be
continuous or including spaces). Thanks for any help.
