[Excel function] Excel’s Len function finds the number of characters in an object

In Excel, the LEN function is used to count the number of characters in a text string. Its syntax is as follows.

LEN(text)

Among them, text is the text string whose number of characters is to be counted.

For example, if you want to count the number of characters of the text in cell A1, you can use the following formula:

A2=only(a1)

The result will return the number of characters of the text string in cell A1.

Note that the LEN function does not distinguish between letters, numbers, spaces, or other characters; it simply counts the total number of characters in the text string. If you want to exclude spaces or specific characters, you need to use other functions, such as the SUBSTITUTE function or a custom function.
