Count instances in an array if
If I have two columns that look like this:

AX, Y
BY
CX, Z
BX, Y, Z
DZ
AY, Z
AX, Y, Z

Is there a formula to count the total number of times Y appears to the right of A (whether or not Y appears with anything else)? The only way I know involves way too many lines (especially since there will be more variables than in this example). Thank you!
