Thanks for the reply. Explains the behavior of the T function. Never heard
of a -Left function before. What other functions can you do that with
(besides RIGHT)?

It is not a -LEFT function. Rather it is a negation (minus sign) of the value
that the LEFT function returns. (As in =-"2").

It just happens that the arithmetic operators will operate on string
representations of numbers, and the result is a number.
