Let's say I have different text values in a column such as:

I want a formula to calculate the frequency of every text value in the column. So the answer should be displayed in two columns. Column D should be the text value and column E should be the frequency of occurrence - so it should come out something like this -

Thank you so much for your help.

Note: You also can use this formula =COUNTIF(A1:A10,"AAA-1") to count the frequency of a specific value. A1:A10 is the data range, and AAA-1 is the value you want to count, you can change them as you need, and with this formula, you just need to press Enter key to get the result.
If you want to learn how to count text in Excel, you need to use function COUNTIF with the criteria defined using wildcard *, with the formula: =COUNTIF(range;"*") . Range is defined cell range where you want to count the text in Excel and wildcard * is criteria for all text occurrences in the defined range.
In Excel, I can tell you some simple formulas to quickly count the occurrences of a word in a column. Select a cell next to the list you want to count the occurrence of a word, and then type this formula =COUNTIF(A2:A12,"Judy") into it, then press Enter, and you can get the number of appearances of this word. Note: 1.
Use the =Countif function to count the number of times each unique entry appears in the original list.
As @Kabir said in the comments, you could use a pivot table. You could also use the COUNTIF function. Try putting the following formula in cell E1 and dragging it downward so the other cells in column D.
=COUNTIF(A:A,D1)
