LEN (Text)
- where, is a text string whose length is to be determined.
- LEN(), returns the number of characters in a text string.
is a text string whose length is to be determined.
Description
LEN(txt)
e.g. LEN (Text) displays 6 as a result.
- LEN() counts 1 byte per character. LEN() works with the languages that use 'Single Byte Character Set' (SBCS).
- can be any string containing characters, numbers, symbols, blank space etc.
- If argument is directly entered in the command, it should be enclosed in double quotes (e.g. "Name").

=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.
