Can you calculate no. CHARACTERS
I know that it is possible to calculate the number of words within an excel
cell but is it possible to calculate the number of characters? I hope someone can save me from staring at a screen with a pointer! |

Hi Lynz,
I know that it is possible to calculate the number of words within an excel cell but is it possible to calculate the number of characters? =LEN(A1) gives the number of characters in cell A1. Regards, Jan Karel Pieterse Excel MVP http://www.jkp-ads.com |

if you have "helpme" in A1, =LEN(A1) in B1 will return 6
