Understanding the Text Function
The Text function is used to convert a value into a text string. The basic syntax of the Text function is as follows:
Text( value, format )
The **value** parameter represents the value you want to convert to text. The **format** parameter is optional and represents the format in which you want the value to be displayed.
Formatting Text
The Text function provides several formatting options to help you display your text in a desired format. Some of the formatting options available are:
Number Formatting
You can use the Text function to format numbers in a desired format. For example, if you want to display a number with two decimal places, you can use the following formula:
Text( 123.456, “0.00” )
This will display the number as "123.46".
Date Formatting
The Text function can also be used to format dates in a desired format. For example, if you want to display a date in the format of "dd/mm/yyyy", you can use the following formula:
Text( DateValue( “10/01/2022” ), “dd/mm/yyyy” )
This will display the date as "10/01/2022".
Text Formatting
The Text function can also be used to format text in a desired format. For example, if you want to display text in all uppercase, you can use the following formula:
Text( “hello world”, Upper )
This will display the text as "HELLO WORLD".
Concatenating Text
The Text function can also be used to concatenate text strings. For example, if you have two text strings, "hello" and "world", and you want to concatenate them into one string, you can use the following formula:
Text( “hello” ) & ” ” & Text( “world” )
This will display the text as "hello world".
