can you count the number of letters (inc spaces) in a single sell
 
I have a spreedsheet which has 3000 rows. Each cell has a different amount
of words in it... ie ABC Learning Centre Ferrymead.

Is it possible to count the number of characters (letters) including spaces
in each cell??? (please note each cell has a different number of letters in
it)... or do I have to do this manually? none of the help options seem to
help me...

Thanks

Just out of pure curiosity, can I ask why you need to do this?
