Default Excel formula to count the number of records which contains a certaintext (wildcard)

Hello,

If you want to count the number of records which contains a certain
text you can use in excel the formula
=COUNTIF(C:C;"aaa")

Which formula can I use if I want to count the number of records which
contains 'aaa' within the cells.
For example

C1= aaa
C2= bbb
C3= aaaccc
C4 = kkkaaabbb

The number of records which contain the text 'aaa' in this example is
3.
If you see I want to use something like a wildcard in a formula.

regards,
Johan.
