Hi,

Is there a way to do one of the following:

a) limit the amount of characters that a cell can contain

or, if not:

b) have a column that counts the number of characters in the cell to the
left of it.

Thanks.
 
If text in column B, one way:

A1: =LEN(B1)

or

A1: =IF(B1="","",LEN(B1))

Copy down as far as necessary
