Count Cells that begin with a specific text

I wanted to COUNTIF the number of cells that start with specific four letters in a column of a reference sheet. I used the formula below and it returns zero.

=COUNTIF({Reference Sheet}, "ABCD")

Is there a formula to return the number of cells that have the first four letters as "ABCD"?
