Formula/Function for Counting Characters in a cell
I'm trying to find a formula/function that count all characters in a cell.
Our employee's street address may exceed the maximum 25 characters allowed and I need to know how many characters are in each street address cell so we can edit it, if needed. Characters include numbers, text, spaces and different characters such as # sign, commas, etc. -- Thanks, Cynthia |
