LEN(txt)
- where, is a text string whose length is to be determined.
is a text string whose length is to be determined.LEN() counts the number of characters in a text string.
Description
LEN(txt)
e.g. LEN("String") displays 6 as a result.
- LEN counts 1 byte per characters. LEN works with the languages that use 'Single Byte Character Set' (SBCS).

=LEN(A1) : Calculates the number of characters in a string referenced to cell A1. Displays 8 as the output. Character '-' is also counted.
=LEN(A2) : Calculates the number of characters in a string referenced to cell A2. Displays 12 as the output. Space Character is also counted.
=LEN(A3) : Calculates the number of characters in a string referenced to cell A3. Displays 7 as the output.
=LEN("<!#!>") :Displays 5 as the output.
=LEN(A1&A2) : Adds the character length of two strings referenced to cells A1 and A2. Displays 20 as the output.
=LEN(A3&"123") : Adds the character length of two strings referenced to cell A1 and "123". Displays 10 as the output.
