I want to filter all the cells that have more than 1000 characters.

Use another column with formulas like:
=len(a2)
and drag down

Then you can include this column in your autofilter range.

Yeah - thank you.

So if I want the length to be 1000 or more, what would that look like?

=len(1000) or just pick a cell that has more than 1000 and go off that one?

I'm assuming your a2 below refers to a cell with the length of characters I
am trying to filter.

The easiest way to do this is to insert a column next to the test data
and use the formula =LEN(A1)1000 . This will return TRUE or FALSE for
each cell. Filter on the TRUE values of this column.
