Hi,
Is there any way in CRM interface to get the list of records that are exceeded the size of X characters for a specific field.
Thanks,

If you are using on-premise, you may try in SQL data update.
(Not supported solution)
Hi Sam,
You can try some work around to find that.
Option One: If you want to manually update field content from 20 to 10.
1. Add new checkbox as "FieldLength".
2. Build a simple custom program to check the field length in the related Field and check the "FieldLength" box if more than 10.
3. Use adv find to query for all the records with "FieldLength" been checked.
4. Export the data and manually update the record and import back into CRM.
Option two: If you want to automatically truncate the field content from 20 to 10.
1. Build a simple custom program to check the field length, if more the 10, just truncate to 10.
Yeah, it is a text field . Account name, Contact, Phone number fields
Well that's logical....i am assuming its a text field probably Phone field?
Hi Prashanth,
The initial length of the X field is 20 characters and that field contains some records that is having 20 characters. Now that I want to reduce the field legth of that to 10 characters. However, when I change that field length to 10 characters, the old data which is 20 chars still remains in the old fields and after the change it allows only 10 char in X for the new records.
So, Now I want all the list of records for which that is having 20 char.
Thanks
First things first, you will not be able to save any such field having more character than specified in the field length. Why do you need this search for?
There's no way on the interface to do it.
Hi,
there is no such query condition in the Advanced Find/FetchXml, and wildcard search won't help either.. you might try exporting to Excel and finding all such records there instead
