=len(a1)
will return the count of all characters in A1

=len(substitute(a1," ","")
will count the number of non-spaces in A1

and
=len(a1)-len(substitute(a1," ",""))
will count the number of spaces in A1.

Please help...is it a way to count characters with space in a cell?

Examples:
Cell A1: Apple and oranges == 17 characters (with spaces); 15 characters
(with no spaces)
Cell A2: Pineapple == 9 characters (with and with no spaces)
