Default Longest string in a column

Hi,
I'm looking for the function combination to determine, in a column of text,
what is the maximum number of characters in any one cell. max(len(cell))
works for any one cell, but max(len(A:A)) manufactures a number from
somewhere but whatever it is, it's not the number of characters in the
longest cell. Perhaps an array function? But my attempt at that ended with
#NUM!.

Thx.
