MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / May 2008Count Characters in Field
Is there a way to do a search for all fields that contain more than 1000 alphanumeric characters?  SignatureBrandon http://www.PresentationsDirect.com Found it . . . Insert a formula like =Len(a1) in a separate column and then sort by that column to see the characters. SignatureBrandon > Is there a way to do a search for all fields that contain more than 1000 > alphanumeric characters? What do you mean by "search"? LEN(A1) will give you the number of characters in A1, so you could put this formula in a helper column: =IF(LEN(A1)>1000,"Yes","") and copy down. You can then apply autofilter to this column and select Yes from the filter pull-down. Hope this helps.
