Filter on number of characters on a cell
I'm working on a requirements spreadsheet in excel which is being turned into
a load file to go into a database. I have some text fields which have very long character lengths. Is there a way to auto filter on character lengths greater than a lenght of 255 characters? Thanks in advance. -Dave |

Filter on number of characters on a cell
Use a helper col, eg
In C2, copied down: =LEN(B2)255 where col B contains the text fields Then autofilter on col C for TRUE Success? hit the YES below -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 Downloads:27,000 Files:200 Subscribers:70 xdemechanik --- "D Hafer - TFE" wrote: I'm working on a requirements spreadsheet in excel which is being turned into a load file to go into a database.
