Default Finding cells with a specific number of characters

In a blank column next to your data, enter the following formula
and copy down as far as you need to go.

=LEN(A1)250

This will return TRUE and FALSE values. Now, auto-filter on TRUE.

I'm trying to find all the cells in a column that have more
than 250
characters. I've tried using DataFilterAdvanced, but haven't
been able to
figure it out. I appreciate any help.
