WARNING!!!! For counting the length of the contents of a cell, you don't use quotes, just the cell reference!

Just remember that LEN() reports the length of the answer for a formula, not
the length of the formula itself.

Of course BizMark. I only used the quotes to indicate that "cell" should be
replaced with the desired cell. Sorry for any confussion it might have caused.
