Default Count function

poentially
=sumproduct(--(not(iserror(find("Account",A1:A1000)))))
will find the number of times a cell has the word "Account" in column A

if the strings are in column A, in B1 enter
=countif(A:A,A1)
copy and paste down,
this will tell you how many times the each string will appear in a cell in
column A

if the string can be a part of a longer string, the answer is more complex,
do you need this?
