A none case sensitive version

=(LEN(UPPER(A1))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(UPPER(A1),"PORT SAID","")))/LEN("PORT SAID")

Sorry I meant to say for column D edit the text to Damietta and put it in
upper case to make it none case sensitive.

In column C for Port Said use

=(LEN(A2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A2,"Port Said","")))/LEN("Port Said")

And edit the text for other ports. Note this is case sensitive.

Hi,

Given the table below. In column C, D etc I want to get the result of how
frequent a certain port is mentioned.

A B
1
2 Route 1 Alexandria, Port Said, Damietta, Port Said, Alexandria
3 Route 2 Port Said, Damietta, Gebze, Izmir, Port Said,
4 Route 3 Port Said, Alexandria, Port Said, Damietta, Port Said
5 Route 4 Port Said, Beirut, Tartous, Limassol, Port Said
6 Route 5 Port Said, Damietta, Istanbul, Port Said


so if column C refers to Port Said and column D refers to Damietta, the
results should be:

C D
1 Port Said Damietta
2 2 1
3 2 1
4 3 1
5 2 0
6 2 1

Is this possible?

Many thanks in advance and have a nice day!
