See inline comments...

A1 = St. Louis

=LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,{"S","s"},""))

Fails


I'm not sure why you posted the above comment... no one posted that
formula.

=SUM(LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,{"S","s"},"")))


The above formula which you posted is the formula that Teethless mama
posted in the message you responded to.
