only way I’ve seen this is here: > [@Filter visibility by Character Count!](https://community.glideapps.com/t/filter-visibility-by-character-count/20867/4): > > I think I got something here. Not the cleanest solution, but not too bad either. Just takes a little math. Here you can see that column 11 has two rows with text in it. New Column L has a template with the value of 1 in it. New Column J is a template that replaces every letter (and space if you choose) with the number ‘1’. You shouldn’t need to replace any numbers as they are already numbers, but you will probably have to include every letter of the alphabet along with any symbols you would… ---

What exactly to you need the count for? You can set a max length, which will show a count of character on the screen as you type, but I’m not sure if that would help for what you need it for. ---

This is really good. Only issue is that this would have to live on the user profile sheet so that way users aren’t overriding each others Address entries. This means you can’t have it in a form yet. But man o man this is exceptional work! ---

I intentionally made this sample like that… so anybody can check it out without signing in, in real App it can operate on user specific columns combine with User profile column ---

Exactly! Just clarifying the limitations of your _ **brilliant** _ development here. Have you tested how long it would take for a user to get an address look up if tens or even hundreds of users were doing at the same time? I have a real use case for this functionality, but I want to make sure that it’s feasible and doesn’t result in a poor user experience. ---

@Uzo This looks awesome! Is there a way that we could get access to the script? I have my users manually typing addresses and the manual address entries are often wildly inaccurate especially with them adding things like shop numbers and mall names. Would LOVE to give your approach a shot in my app. Also, I wonder if the response could be faster if we force the result to be within a selected country? ---

I manage to cut response time to 5 seconds, this is the best possible interaction with Glide. ---
