    Unfortunately, this is not possible using column or list validation formula in SharePoint as multiple lines of text columns are not supported in SharePoint formulas.

     

    You will have to customize the list form using Power Apps and add such validations using Power Apps functions. You can use Len() function to check the length of text input.

     

    For example: 

    Len(myTextColumn.Text)

    Where myTextColumn is the name of your text input control in Power Apps form.

     

    Check: 

    1. Customize a Microsoft Lists or SharePoint form by using Power Apps 
    2. Len function in Power Apps
