    best way to sum how many times a text appears over multiple pages

    I'm trying to find the easiest way to calculate the total amount of times a certain text in a specified range over 8 different pages in a single excel workbook. Right now I'm currently using a countif formula for each page and adding them together, but it's a long formula. Is there a more efficient way to do this?

    The workbook in question is attached below. Please refer to the page title "Seed Stats" cell B4, which uses the countif formula over the pages #1 vs #16, #2 vs #15, etc.

    Thank you!
