Character count for cells


Posted by DC on February 04, 2002 3:04 PM

Is there a way to count the number of characters in a cell. I have a lot of data in each cell and I need to know which cells go over a certain number of characters.

is this possible?

In a blank cell insert this formula:

= LEN(cell)

where cell = the cell you want to count characters
