Countif string length greater than X with formula

Here I introduce some formulas to help you quickly count strings if the length is greater than a specific length.

Select a blank cell, and type this formula =COUNTIF(A1:A20,REPT("?",B1)&"*"), and press Enter key.

In this formula, A1:A20 is the range you want to count from, and B1 is the cell with the specified character length you want to count based on, in this case, I count the cell which length is greater than 9, so in B1, type 10( 9+1) ,  you can change them as you need.

Tip: You also can use this formula =SUMPRODUCT(--(LEN(A1:A20)>B1)) to count, in B1, type the specific lenght you want to use, for example, count length greater than 9, type 9 in B1.
