I am trying to find the number of times specific words occur in a column. For instance, I am serching for "visit" and "call" (not case sensitive) within a column. These words may occur more than once in a particular cell of the column and I need to count each time these words occur, not a count per word, but count the times both words occur in cells in the column.

Thanks in advance!

Call me before your visit don’t visit me before call Me549549
Visit visit call call call

Power Query:
//1st
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table21"]}[Content],
    Lower = Table.TransformColumns(Source,{{"Raw", Text.Lower, type text}}),
    Split = Table.ExpandListColumn(Table.TransformColumns(Lower, {{"Raw", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(" ", QuoteStyle.Csv), let itemType = (type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true] in type {itemType}}}), "Raw"),
    Contain = Table.SelectRows(Split, each Text.Contains([Raw], "visit") or Text.Contains([Raw], "call")),
    Count = Table.Group(Contain, {"Raw"}, {{"Count", each Table.RowCount(_), type number}}),
    Pivot = Table.Pivot(Count, List.Distinct(Count[Raw]), "Raw", "Count", List.Sum),
    Total = Table.AddColumn(Pivot, "total", each [call]+[visit])
in
    Total
Power Query:
//2nd
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table21"]}[Content],
    Lower = Table.ToColumns(Table.TransformColumns(Source,{{"Raw", Text.Lower, type text}})),
    C2T = Table.FromList(Lower, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
    Ren = Table.RenameColumns(C2T,{{"Column1", "Raw"}}),
    Extract = Table.TransformColumns(Ren, {"Raw", each Text.Combine(List.Transform(_, Text.From), " "), type text}),
    call = Table.AddColumn(Extract, "call", each List.Count(Text.Split([Raw],"call"))-1),
    visit = Table.AddColumn(call, "visit", each List.Count(Text.Split([Raw],"visit"))-1),
    total = Table.AddColumn(visit, "total", each [call]+[visit]),
    TSC = Table.SelectColumns(total,{"call", "visit", "total"})
