To duplicate Mike's macro use

Count = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("A1:D2 00"), "*Boo*")

But if you have a particular reson for wanting a macro then use this

Sub marine()
Dim Myrange As Range
Set Myrange = Range("A1:D200")
For Each c In Myrange
If UCase(Trim(c.Value)) = "BOO" Then
Count = Count + 1
End If
Next
MsgBox Count
End Sub

Or...

Sub marine() ' <g
Dim Count As Long
Count = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("A1:D2 00"), "Boo")
MsgBox Count
End Sub
