    I think what you are asking for is to check for the "Fail" at the beginning of the text string.

    If so, this

    =COUNTIF(Status1:Status10, LEFT(@cell, 4) = "Fail")

    would count the first 10 rows of the [Status] column.

    This would count the whole [Status] column

    =COUNTIF(Status:Status, LEFT(@cell, 4) = "Fail")

    I hope this helps.
