So I am trying to determine the frequency of specific keywords within a cell containing marketing language to help understand product positioning. The example below is somewhat rudimentary but all formulas I've found thus far will only tell me whether "vitamin" is present or not. How do I get the formula to count "3" for the example below?

I don't care about words within words OR it being case sensitive.

Many, many thanks.

A1: "Product contains vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin D."
B1: vitamin
C1: Formula??
 

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Maybe ...

=(len(a1) - len(substitute(A1, "vitamin", ""))) / len("vitamin")

Thanks for the warm (and quick) welcome!

We are close to the formula... but what we have thus far is case sensitive. What would be the workaround?
