Count of type in a column

Hi All, 

 

Looking for an answer if it is possible to count the amount of times a word is mentioned within a column. For example we have a column with different selections such as Closed, Expired, Open, Started, Hold and In-Contract. Is it possible to count the amount of times Closed is in the column? 

 

Also can I do the same for a RAG status looking to count the amount of Red's, Amber's and Green's?

 

Thanks in Advance
