=(LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"pick","")))/LEN("pick")
* LEN(A1) gives the total number of characters in the original text.
* SUBSTITUTE(A1,"pick","") removes all occurrences of "pick".
* LEN(...) on that result gives the new length.
* The difference between the two lengths is the total characters removed.
* Dividing by LEN("pick") converts that into the number of times "pick" appears.
