I need to peform a character count for certain cells in Excel. I found a
formula for counting words within a cell but not the number of specific
characters.
 
If you count spaces as a character, you can use directly the function LEN.
If you don't want the spaces to count, use something like:
=LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",""))

Hope this helps,
Miguel.
