Certainly! The LEN
function in Excel calculates the length of a text string. It returns the number of characters in the given text, including spaces and punctuation. Here’s how to use it:
Syntax:
=LEN(text)
text
: The text for which you want to calculate the length.
Examples:
=LEN("apple")
returns 5.=LEN("apple ")
(with a space) returns 6.=LEN(1000)
(numeric value) returns 4.=LEN("$1,000")
(formatted number) also returns 4.
Remember that LEN
counts characters in both text and numeric values, but number formatting is not included1.
