You can use the built in 'Length' function to count the characters in a cell. The usage is =LEN(A1) where A1 can be any cell reference. To count rows seperately you can create a column and use the automatic incrementing 'Down...' function to duplicate the formula cell to your count column for minimal work.

The formula you can use in Excel to count characters is "LEN". The correct syntax is: "LEN(cell)". You need to start with "=" to tell Excel it's a formula. For instance, if you want to count the number of characters in the cell A1, you may type in another cell: =LEN(A1) and press ENTER

the correct formulation is LEN. =LEN(C1) outputs the number of characters inside the specified cell. (In this case cell C1)
