or, if there might be blanks / spaces that you don't want to count:

=LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")

This formula would omit characters like , " ' . [space] and counts rest.
=LEN(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"'",""),"""",""),".",""),",","")," ",""))
That formula counts characters like digits, colons, semi-colons, slashes, dashes, and so on. Is that what you actually wanted? Or did you just want to count letters only (and ignore all the rest of the characters)? If so, then give this formula a try...thanks a lot ... its working
