Count of occurences within a row

I was wondering is there a function that could calculate number of occurences within one row? 

For example, i want to calculate the number of times word "red" occures within a row.

 

Result would look something like this:

 

 

     Color                |  Red  |  Blue

------------------------------------

 Red, Blue, Red      |   2     |  1

------------------------------------

  Red, Red, Red      |    3    |   0

 

Thanks

Hi @IvanMislav ,

The following DAX might work for you:

Red = var a=ADDCOLUMNS(GENERATESERIES(1,PATHLENGTH(max(Table1[Column]))),"Item",PATHITEM(MAX(Table1[Column]),[Value]))
return COUNTROWS(FILTER(a,[Item]="red"))
blue = var a=ADDCOLUMNS(GENERATESERIES(1,PATHLENGTH(max(Table1[Column]))),"Item",PATHITEM(MAX(Table1[Column]),[Value]))
return COUNTROWS(FILTER(a,[Item]="blue"))+0

The final output is shown in the following figure:
