Please check to see if your spreadsheet program uses , or ; as a seperator between arguments. With open office, the correct syntax of the expression is to use ; as shown below:
=LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1;”d“;””))
When in doubt, let the program build the expression and add the arguments in the proper locations.
This information was VERY helpful in what I was trying to accomplish!

That was very helpful. I used it to filter a string of numbers that had to be of so many numbers (5 and 4 respectively). Using the LEN command, I could then filter from smallest to greatest and concatonate zeroes to the end of the numbers that were fewer than four or five digits.

Thanks!

Thanks the formula worked for me. I think the cell you are pasting the formula in is of type text. Change the format of the Cell to general and retry.
