Count text with specific values

Hi I just started using Qlik yesterday and hope this question is not too easy to answer. I have a list "discountCodes" which contains a large number of codes that look something like this: 123cv-GAUFsdf
Now I want to count all codes that contain the value GAUF. For this I have tried the following formulas, which all give me the value 8.622. But the correct value is 225.

textcount(if(match(discountCode,'GAUF'),discountCode,discountCode))

textcount(if(match(discountCode,'*GAUF*'),discountCode,discountCode))

Can someone help me? I am really desperate.
Later I want to create a list of all the codes contained in the data and display the number of times each particular value appears in it.

Best regards
Hendrik

<discountCode= {"*GAUF*"}>

This simply says, select all discountCode that contain the string ’GAUF’ regardless of its position.

And kindly mark reply as correct answer.
