Default Counting cells with same info in them

I have a VERY large spreadsheet with lots of data on it. I want to count how
many cells contain, for eg, the word "Open" and how many contain the
word"closed, "Paused" etc... There are lots of cells with the same word in,
but around 4000 cells altogether, so using "find next" is taking for ever...

Can anyone help?

=countIF(a1:A4000,"open")

also lookup in xl help Count, dCount, Counta, Countaif.
