Add either 3 dots or finish sentences in archive excerpts

Hi,
I am trying to add excerpt text under image thumbnails in the archive pages. I want around 20-30 words, but no matter how many I add, the sentences cut off at how many words I add.
I'd like to either add 3 periods mid0sentence "..." or have the text finish at the end of a sentence close to say, 25 words.
I can add 3 periods if I put them in the "Read more label" section of "Customize", but it also duplicates a link to the post.
I added an example in the private area below. You'd just need to scroll down that page to see what I mean.
Thanks :)
Sorry, I got the fix on another of my sites! I just remembered
add_filter( 'wp_trim_excerpt', 'tu_excerpt_metabox_more' );
function tu_excerpt_metabox_more( $excerpt ) {
$output = $output = $excerpt . '...';
return $output;
}
I see. Glad you resolved it, Mark!
