LEN Formula Syntax

=LEN("Hello")

Example Use Case

Counting the length of a text string

Understanding the LEN Formula

The LEN function in Excel returns the number of characters in a text string, including spaces and punctuation. It’s a text tool for measuring length—like checking input size or validating data.

LEN("Hello") returns 5, counting each character. It takes a single text argument, counting everything visible (not hidden codes), making it a quick way to gauge string size.

Why Use LEN?

LEN sizes text—think field limits or parsing prep. Its character count aids in text analysis, offering a simple metric for length-based logic or cleanup tasks.

Example with Sample Data

TextFormulaResult
'Hello'=LEN("Hello")5
'Hi there'=LEN("Hi there")8
''=LEN("")0

LEN counts chars: 'Hello' is 5, 'Hi there' is 8. It’s a length measurer.
