Using double quotation marks in formulas

To include a text string in a formula, place the text string between two double quotation marks (") and Calc takes the characters in the string without attempting to interpret them. For example, the formula ="Hello world!" displays the text string Hello world! in the cell, with no surrounding double quotation marks.

The more complex formula =CONCATENATE("Life is really simple, "; "but we insist on making it complicated "; "(Confucius).") concatenates three individual strings in double quotation marks, outputting Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated (Confucius).

To place a literal double quotation mark within a string inside a formula, two methods can be used:

  1. You can "escape" the double quotation mark with an additional double quotation mark, and Calc treats the escaped double quotation mark as a literal value. For example, the formula ="My name is ""John Doe""." outputs the string My name is "John Doe". Another simple example is the formula =UNICODE("""") which returns 34, the decimal value of the Unicode quotation mark character (U+0022) — here the first and fourth double quotation marks indicate the beginning and end of the string, while the second double quotation mark escapes the third.

  2. You can use the CHAR function or the UNICHAR function to insert a double quotation mark. For example, the formula =UNICHAR(34) & "The Catcher in the Rye" & UNICHAR(34) & " is a famous book by J. D. Salinger." displays the string "The Catcher in the Rye" is a famous book by J. D. Salinger.

Beware that Calc's AutoCorrect function may modify double quotation marks. AutoCorrect should not change the double quotation marks within formula cells but may change those used in non-formula cells containing text. For example, if you copy a string that is surrounded by some other form of typographical double quotation marks, such as the left double quotation mark (U+201C) and the right double quotation mark (U+201D), and then paste into a formula cell, an error may result. Open the Double Quotes area of the Tools - AutoCorrect Options - Localized Options dialog to set the characters used to automatically correct the start and end typographical double quotation marks. Uncheck the Replace toggle button to disable the feature.

ARABIC

Returns the numeric value corresponding to a Roman number expressed as text.

ASC

Converts double-byte (full-width) characters to single-byte (half-width) ASCII and katakana characters.

JIS

Converts single-byte (half-width) ASCII or katakana characters to double-byte (full-width) characters.

REGEX

Matches and extracts or optionally replaces text using regular expressions.

ROMAN

Converts a number into a Roman numeral. The value range must be between 0 and 3999. A simplification mode can be specified in the range from 0 to 4.

VALUE

Converts the string representation of a number to numeric form. If the supplied string is a valid date, time, or date-time, the corresponding date-time serial number is returned.

WEBSERVICE

Get some web content from a URI.

FILTERXML

Apply a XPath expression to a XML document.

ENCODEURL

Returns a URL-encoded string.

BAHTTEKST

Gjør om et tall til Thaitekst, inklusive Thaivalutanavn.

Syntax

BAHTTEKST(Tall)

Number is any number. "Baht" is appended to the integral part of the number, and "Satang" is appended to the decimal part of the number.

Example

=BAHTTEXT(12.65) returns a string in Thai characters with the meaning of "Twelve Baht and sixty five Satang".

BASE

Converts a positive integer to a specified base into a text from the numbering system. The digits 0-9 and the letters A-Z are used.

Syntax

BASE(Number; Radix [; MinimumLength])

Tekst er teksten som tilsvarer et romertall.

Radix indicates the base of the number system. It may be any positive integer between 2 and 36.

MinimumLength (optional) determines the minimum length of the character sequence that has been created. If the text is shorter than the indicated minimum length, zeros are added to the left of the string.

Example

=ELLER(A; B) gir SANN

=ELLER(A; B) gir SANN

=ELLER(A; B) gir SANN

BYTT.UT (SUBSTITUTE på engelsk)

Erstatter en tekst med en ny tekst i en streng.

Syntax

SUBSTITUTE("Text"; "SearchText"; "NewText" [; Occurrence])

Text is the text in which text segments are to be exchanged.

SearchText is the text segment that is to be replaced (a number of times).

NewText is the text that is to replace the text segment.

Occurrence (optional) indicates which occurrence of the search text is to be replaced. If this parameter is missing the search text is replaced throughout.

Example

=SUBSTITUTE("123123123";"3";"abc") returns 12abc12abc12abc.

=SUBSTITUTE("123123123";"3";"abc";2) returns 12312abc123.

DESIMAL

Converts text with characters from a number system to a positive integer in the base radix given. The radix must be in the range 2 to 36. Spaces and tabs are ignored. The Text field is not case-sensitive.

If the radix is 16, a leading x or X or 0x or 0X, and an appended h or H, is disregarded. If the radix is 2, an appended b or B is disregarded. Other characters that do not belong to the number system generate an error.

Syntax

DESIMAL("Tekst"; Grunntall)

Text is the text to be converted. To differentiate between a hexadecimal number, such as A1 and the reference to cell A1, you must place the number in quotation marks, for example, "A1" or "FACE".

Radix indicates the base of the number system. It may be any positive integer between 2 and 36.

Example

=RADER(A10:B12) gir 3.

=RADER(A10:B12) gir 3.

=RADER(A10:B12) gir 3.

ERSTATT (REPLACE på engelsk)

Replaces part of a text string with a different text string. This function can be used to replace both characters and numbers (which are automatically converted to text). The result of the function is always displayed as text. If you intend to perform further calculations with a number which has been replaced by text, you will need to convert it back to a number using the VALUE function.

Any text containing numbers must be enclosed in quotation marks if you do not want it to be interpreted as a number and automatically converted to text.

Syntax

ERSTATT("Tekst"; Plassering; Lengde; "NyTekst")

Text refers to text of which a part will be replaced.

Position refers to the position within the text where the replacement will begin.

Length is the number of characters in Text to be replaced.

NewText refers to the text which replaces Text.

Example

=REPLACE("1234567";1;1;"444") returns "444234567". One character at position 1 is replaced by the complete NewText.

FIND

Syntax

FIND("FindText"; "Text" [; Position])

Tekst er teksten som tilsvarer et romertall.

Text is the text where the search takes place.

Position (optional) is the position in the text from which the search starts.

Example

=FIND(76;998877665544) returns 6.

FIXED

Returns a number as text with a specified number of decimal places and optional thousands separators.

Syntax

FIXED(Number; [Decimals = 2 [; NoThousandsSeparators = FALSE]])

Number is rounded to Decimals places (after the decimal separator) and the result formatted as text, using locale-specific settings.

Decimals (optional) refers to the number of decimal places to be displayed. If Decimals is negative, Number is rounded to ABS(Decimals) places to the left from the decimal point. If Decimals is a fraction, it is truncated actually ignoring what is the closest integer.

NoThousandsSeparators (optional) determines whether the thousands separator is used. If it is TRUE or non-zero, then group separators are omitted from the resulting string. If the parameter is equal to 0 or if it is missing altogether, the thousands separators of your current locale setting are displayed.

Example

=FIXED(1234567.89;3) returns 1,234,567.890 as a text string.

=FIXED(123456.789;;TRUE) returns 123456.79 as a text string.

Returns the position of a text segment within a character string. You can set the start of the search as an option. The search text can be a number or any sequence of characters. The search is not case-sensitive. If the text is not found, returns error 519 (#VALUE).

Søket støtter jokertegn eller regular expressions. Med regulære uttrykk aktivert , kan du skrive "alle.*", for eksempel for å finne den første forekomsten av "alle" fulgt av villkårlge tegn. Hvis du vil søke etter en tekst som også er et vanlig uttrykk, må du enten foran hvert tegn med et "\" -tegn, eller vedlegge teksten til \ Q ... \ E. Du kan slå automatisk evaluering av jokertegn eller vanlig uttrykk av og på i - LibreOffice Calc - Kalkuler.

warning

Når du bruker funksjoner der ett eller flere argumenter er søkekriterier, som representerer et regulært uttrykk, er det første forsøket å konvertere strengkriteriene til tall. For eksempel vil ".0" konverteres til 0.0 og så videre. Hvis det lykkes, vil matchingen ikke være et vanlig uttrykk, men en numerisk match. Imidlertid, når du bytter til et sted der desimalskilleren ikke er punktum, får det konvertering av regulære uttrykk å fungere. For å tvinge evalueringen av det regulære uttrykket i stedet for et numerisk uttrykk, bruker du et uttrykk som ikke kan feilleses som numerisk, for eksempel ". [0]" eller ". \ 0" eller "(? I) .0".


Syntax

SEARCH("FindText"; "Text" [; Position])
