Text Functions
This section contains descriptions of the Text functions.
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:
-
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.
-
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.
Be aware 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 dialog to set the characters used to automatically correct the start and end typographical double quotation marks. Uncheck the toggle button to disable the feature.

=BAHTTEXT(12.65) devuelve una cadena de caráuteres tailandeses que representen "Dolce Baht y sesenta y cinco Satang".
COM.MICROSOFT.BAHTTEXT
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.
BASE(Number; Radix [; MinimumLength])
Númberu ye'l númberu enteru positivu tien de convertise.
Radix indicates the base of the numeral system. It may be any positive integer between 2 and 36.
LongitudMínima (opcional) determina'l llargor mínimu de la secuencia de caráuteres que se creó. Si'l testu ye más curtiu que'l llargor mínimu indicada, amiéstense ceros a la izquierda de la cadena.
=BASE(17;10;4) devuelve 0017 nel sistema decimal.
=BASE(17;2) devuelve 10001 nel sistema binariu.
=BASE(255;16;4) devuelve 00FF nel sistema hexadecimal.
BUSCAR
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).
The search supports wildcards or regular expressions. With regular expressions enabled, you can enter "all.*", for example to find the first location of "all" followed by any characters. If you want to search for a text that is also a regular expression, you must either precede every regular expression metacharacter or operator with a "\" character, or enclose the text into \Q...\E. You can switch the automatic evaluation of wildcards or regular expression on and off in .
When using functions where one or more arguments are search criteria strings that represents a regular expression, the first attempt is to convert the string criteria to numbers. For example, ".0" will convert to 0.0 and so on. If successful, the match will not be a regular expression match but a numeric match. However, when switching to a locale where the decimal separator is not the dot makes the regular expression conversion work. To force the evaluation of the regular expression instead of a numeric expression, use some expression that can not be misread as numeric, such as ".[0]" or ".\0" or "(?i).0".

Atopar_Testu ye'l testu que se debe guetar.
