How to use the Excel LEN function

The LEN function in Excel counts characters in a string. I mainly use it when I need to extract text from a string. The Excel LEN function comes in handy when the number of characters in a string is indefinite.

Syntax: =LEN(text)

  • text – The text for which to calculate length.
