    Word lenghts and more. Need help!

    Good morning all,

    My Excel is a French version and certain functions have to be "translated" but I can do that.

    I have a (very, very large) list of words in Col A
    I want to put the number of letters in each word in Column B < =NBCAR(A1) > Note: NBCAR is the French equivalent to LEN

    In Col C if the number of letters of the word in Col A exceeds 15 the cell is left blank, if not the word from Col A is repeated there.

    I have tried but cannot get it to work. I would appreciate any help.

    Henry

    Maybe:

    =IF(B1>15,"",A1)

    Use code tags when posting your VBA code: [code] Your code here [/code]

    Remember, saying thanks only takes a second or two. Click the little star to give some Rep if you think an answer deserves it.

    That worked with a small error - ; -

    =IF(B1>15;"";A1)

    Thank you very much.
