Character or word count formula

Just did a quick search of forum but can’t find anyone discussing or sharing a solution for a formula that will evaluate a long text block, count the characters or words and then output this info in the formula field. Any ideas? Getting the discussion going here.

I am storing lots of old notes I exported from another notes app in Baserow and using this will allow me to sort by note size/how much time I invested in this note in the past.

Nevermind! Found it on my own. I was searching for “Count” but the proper function is “Length” …

length(field('myfield'))

And it works great!
