How can I count the number of caracters including spaces in a microsoft excel
worksheet

On a worksheet?

Try:

=SUM(LEN(Sheet1!1:32768))+SUM(LEN(Sheet1!32769:655 36))

This is an array formula, press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to enter it.

Put the formula on a different sheet to the one you want to count so
that you don't get a circular reference.

And it takes a long time to run - be warned.
