Default Count Function

Is there a function that will count how many times I have entered a word in a
range of cells? I tried using the count function, but that only works for
numbers.

Default Count Function

Try this:

=COUNTIF(A1:A10,"word")

Or, using a cell to hold the criteria:

C1 = some word

=COUNTIF(A1:A10,C1)
