Insert a fixed number of characters
 

Hi all,

Is there a function which can insert a fixed number of character. I want to
use this kind of function to do the alignment.

Clara - sounds like the repeat function would work for you. For example,

=REPT("A",7)

would return seven A's ("AAAAAAA"). Alternatively, you might also find the
Text function useful for aligning numbers:

=TEXT(1,"0000")

would return "0001".

Hope this helps.

Insert a fixed number of characters
 

'Left-pad a string v with spaces, to a total length of i characters
Function lPad(v, i) As String
lPad = String(i - Len(v), " ") & v
End Function

I'm not sure what you're doing, but if you're trying to indent a value in a
cell, you may want to

select the range
format|cells|alignment tab
and increase the indent box

The underlying value doesn't change.
