How to count multiple iterations of a text string in a cell

Hi all

How to I count the number of times a certain text string is found within a cell

For example - the string "ABC"

If cell A1  = "ABC XYZ ABC", I would want the result to be returned to be 2 or

if cell A2 = "XYZ AA ABC ABC ABC", the result would be 3

Ultimately, I want to count the iterations of the text string "ABC" in a range of cells - say column A

Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks

Anton
