## ARABIC

Calculates the value of a Roman number. The value range must be between 0 and 3999.

### Syntax

ARABIC("Text")

Text is the text that represents a Roman number.

### Example

=ARABIC("MXIV") returns 1014

=ARABIC("MMII") returns 2002

## ASC

The ASC function converts full-width to half-width ASCII and katakana characters. Returns a text string.

See https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Calc/Features/JIS_and_ASC_functions for a conversion table.

### தொடரமைப்பு

ASC("Text")

Text is the text that contains characters to be converted.

See also JIS function.

## BAHTTEXT

Converts a number to Thai text, including the Thai currency names.

### தொடரமைப்பு

BAHTTEXT(Number)

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.

### எடுத்துக்காட்டு

=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])

Number is the positive integer to be converted.

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

=BASE(17;10;4) returns 0017 in the decimal system.

=BASE(17;2) returns 10001 in the binary system.

=BASE(255;16;4) returns 00FF in the hexadecimal system.

## CHAR

Converts a number into a character according to the current code table. The number can be a two-digit or three-digit integer number.

127 ஐ விட பெரிய நிரற்றொடர்கள் உங்களின் கட்டக வரியுரு படவரைவை சார்ந்திருக்கலாம். (எ.கா, iso-8859-1, iso-8859-2, Windows-1252, Windows-1250), ஆகவே அவை கையடக்கமின்றியும் இருக்கலாம்.

### Syntax

CHAR(Number)

Number is a number between 1 and 255 representing the code value for the character.

### Example

=CHAR(100) returns the character d.

="abc" & CHAR(10) & "def" inserts a newline character into the string.

## CLEAN

All non-printing characters are removed from the string.

### Syntax

CLEAN("Text")

Text refers to the text from which to remove all non-printable characters.

## CODE

Returns a numeric code for the first character in a text string.

### Syntax

CODE("Text")

Text is the text for which the code of the first character is to be found.

### Example

=CODE("Hieronymus") returns 72, =CODE("hieroglyphic") returns 104.

The code used here does not refer to ASCII, but to the code table currently loaded.

Text 1; Text 2; ... represent up to 30 text passages which are to be combined into one string.

### Example

=CONCATENATE("Good ";"Morning ";"Mrs. ";"Doe") returns: Good Morning Mrs. Doe.

## DECIMAL

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

DECIMAL("Text"; Radix)

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

=DECIMAL("17";10) returns 17.

=DECIMAL("FACE";16) returns 64206.

=DECIMAL("0101";2) returns 5.

## DOLLAR

Converts a number to an amount in the currency format, rounded to a specified decimal place. In the Value field enter the number to be converted to currency. Optionally, you may enter the number of decimal places in the Decimals field. If no value is specified, all numbers in currency format will be displayed with two decimal places.

You set the currency format in your system settings.

### Syntax

DOLLAR(Value; Decimals)

Value is a number, a reference to a cell containing a number, or a formula which returns a number.

Decimals is the optional number of decimal places.

### Example

=DOLLAR(255) returns $255.00.

=DOLLAR(367.456;2) returns $367.46. Use the decimal separator that corresponds to the current locale setting.

## EXACT

Compares two text strings and returns TRUE if they are identical. This function is case-sensitive.

### Syntax

EXACT("Text1"; "Text2")

Text1 refers to the first text to compare.

Text2 is the second text to compare.

### Example

## FIXED

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

### Syntax

FIXED(Number; Decimals; NoThousandsSeparators)

Number refers to the number to be formatted.

Decimals refers to the number of decimal places to be displayed.

NoThousandsSeparators (optional) determines whether the thousands separator is used. If the parameter is a number not equal to 0, the thousands separator is suppressed. 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(1234567.89;3;1) returns 1234567.890 as a text string.

## REPLACE

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.

RIGHTB("中国";3) returns " 国" (3 bytes constitute one half DBCS character and one whole DBCS character; a space is returned for the first half).

RIGHTB("中国";4) returns "中国" (4 bytes constitute two complete DBCS characters).

RIGHTB("office";3) returns "ice" (3 non-DBCS characters each consisting of 1 byte).

The search supports regular expressions. 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 precede every character with a \ character. You can switch the automatic evaluation of regular expression on and off in LibreOffice - Preferences Tools - Options
- LibreOffice Calc - Calculate.
