Default Count Characters in a cell

Nope.

If it's really important, you could create a userform that would allow you to
accept input from the user and count the characters as they're being typed.

Is there a formula that will give me a running total of the characters as
they are being typed in?

You can use a formula like:
=len(a1)
to return the number of characters in A1. But the formula will only update
after the user finishes making a change to A1.

Any help would be appreciated
