Im using the formula

=SUM(LEN(B2:B955)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B2:B955,"Pension","")))/LEN("Pension")

This works fine to count the number of occurances for the word Pension but
Im stuck when trying to count using multiple criteria eg the the Pension and
the word Scheme.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try

=SUM(COUNTIF(B2:B955,{"*Pension*","*Scheme*"}))

OR for whole cell match
=SUM(COUNTIF(B2:B955,{"Pension","Scheme"}))
 
Thanks, works great, huge help.

Cheers
