Default How do you count how many times a cell is entered


How do you count how many times a cell is entered with a particular
string.

Example: If input cell is A1 and count cell is C1 and count string is
1K4. Then I want C1 to counts everytime 1K4 is entered in to A1.

There are ways around, but be careful.
