Is there a function that will allow me to count the number of digits in a cell. I've found the "len" funtion that will count the number of characters for text, but nothing for a number.
 

Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
the LEN function should work for both alpha or numeric strings and indeed for an alpha-numeric string

typing 1234 or 1111 in Cell A1 and the formula =len(A1) in cell B1 should give you the result of 4

If it doesnt, check you have the latest Service release updates
