Default Countif against a range of text entries

What do you want to count?
Do you want to know something like how many cells in A1:A15 hold the word
"apple" ?
best wishes

Hi there,
I can't seem to find an answer here to the following problem:

I have a Range of 15 Cells with Text,
is there a way do do a "Countif" (or something similar) in a column in
another File against All of these 15 Cells in just one formula?
If I add the Countifs for all 15 cells, the formula is half a mile long
and
cannot be copied.

Any help here is Very Welcome,
Many Thanks in advance!!

Rgds,
