If you want contains "People", use:
=COUNTIF(A1:A9,"*people*")

For the last part, you'll need to provide more detail on "according to their
month in a new worksheet". However, I suspect your best bet is a Pivot
Table.

okay. thanks for your response. Sorry for not being clear enough. The raw
data under the row AG contains "People-1,People-2...." in each cell. and
also
under row D, it contains the dates created.

So i need to filter out the numbers of cells with the word "People" and at
the same time, according to their month in a new worksheet. Thanks.
