Here is a lightweight and fast method that avoids regex/reference additions, thus helping with overhead and transportability should that be an advantage.

Public Function GetNumLoc(xValue As String) As Integer

For GetNumLoc = 1 To Len(xValue)
    If Mid(xValue, GetNumLoc, 1) Like "#" Then Exit Function
Next

GetNumLoc = 0

End Function
