Combining COUNTIF and LEN

I need to count the number of cells in a range containing moer than 7
characters. =COUNTIF((A2:A200),LEN>7)) does not seem to work. Any help would
be appreciated

One way:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEN(A2:A200)>7))

And another,

=COUNTIF(A2:A200,REPT("?",7)&"?*") or =COUNTIF(A2:A200,"????????*")

though this would only count cells containing text. FWIW, cells
containing numbers with nonterminating decimal fractions always have
length exceeding 7.
