Dear expert,
Would like to count the digits before decimals and after decimals.

For example,

111975.35 should be 6 digits before decimals and 2 digits after decimals
12456.25 should be 5 and 2
2478.24 should be 4 and 2
248.37 should be 3 and 2

Using LEN does not help.
Can you help please?

If you are interested only in significant digits, then

before Decimal: =FIND(".",A1)-1
after Decimal: =LEN(A1)-FIND(".",A1)

But if you are interested in also counting trailing or leading zeros, you will
either need to enter the numbers as text, or use VBA to determine the format.
