Column Cell character number checking

[tlee]

Hi all,

How can I check the number of the characters at the specified column of
whole cells? (by using Macro)

e.g.
1) Prompt the message box to select range of columns to check.

2) input the several columns would be check

3) Macro will check all the cells of the relative columns for example, the
number character (including "Spaces" and "symbols")

4) Highlight the excess number of characters cells or activate (let the user
tor re-change the content of the problem cell to below the limit of
character length)

Assume the cell character length is 20.

Thanks for your help.

something simple ... this code assumes the area has been selected

dim cell as range
dim source as range
set source = Selection
for each cell in source
if LEN(cell.Value)>20 then
cell.interior.ColorIndex = XLRED
end if
next
