count characters exluding one of the same characters in a field

[cheryl27284]

I have field that has the days worked like this MTWR--- or -TWRFY-. I need to count the days worked and need to exclude the dashes. How should I do this?

 

[PHV]

Something like this ?
DaysWorked: Len(Replace([your field], '-', ''))

Hope This Helps, PH.
