    Count specific words in a range and return total count from another column

    Hi

    I need to extract the total number of phone calls related to a specific word.
    In the attached spreadsheet, I would like to know the total number of calls that include the word - "billing" (highlithed in yellow). There are 3 different types of calls for billing - payments, address and questions

    Hope my request is clear - thanks for your help!

    @Ghozi Alkatiri/MarvinP: nice solutions ... but maybe a bit over-engineered?

    Yep, I liked your sweet little answer better
    I was worried about the OP version and not doing SumIfS(). = Over-EnGiNeErEd!
    I really wanted to use "Search()" in a formula today and this satisfied my itch!
