Count Characters in Field

Is there a way to do a search for all fields that contain more than 1000
alphanumeric characters?

Re: Count Characters in Field

Found it . . . Insert a formula like =Len(a1) in a separate column and then
sort by that column to see the characters.

Re: Count Characters in Field

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.
