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

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.

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