Default Counting characters

Could you suggest a formula to count the total number of alpha-numeric
characters in an adjoining cell?

Default Counting characters

Hello there,

To count all characters in a cell, check out the LEN formula. To count
specifics, either all numbers or all alpha-characters, it becomes more
tricky.
