Question : Countif of a cell that has text

Wanted to count all cells BI:BM that have something in it based on cell D, see attached spreadsheet. For example"

Wanted a count of how many cells BI:BM are populated that are related to 47 Upper in cell D.

The idea is to see how many discrepancies (columns BI:BM) are written against a part number in D column.
