Is there a formula for counting the number of characters in a cell
Something like =countchar???

E.g. to return the following:

0863855556 - 10 (Characters)
0856524 - (7 Characters)
087666555 - 9
086666666 - 9

etc

This is the formula that you need

*=len(A1)
 
The LEN function will return the number of characters in the text
of a cell. E.g.,

=LEN(A1)
