Hopefully, you are tracking all the different topics on this same

A non-VBA solution would be the array formula
=SUM(--MID(A3,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A3))),1)*10^(-1+ROW(INDIRECT
("1:"&LEN(A3)))))

To enter an array formula complete data entry with the CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER
combination.

Ok, followed this in an Excel2003 workbook, and got ALMOST there. I was able
to get the reverse returned, but then adding the *1 returned a #VALUE! error.
Clicking the error tab did not give me the option to Convert To Number,
either.
If its any help, this is what I want to accomplish:
start with a number:
(ABC)
add its reverse (here is where I need the function)
ABC+CBA = XYZ
So:
A1 is (ABC)
B1 is (CBA)
C1 is A2 + B2 [XYZ]

THEN -
A2 = (XYZ)
B2 = (ZYX)

etc.

Any suggestions?

By using a user defined function.

Public Function RevStr(Rng As Range)
RevStr = StrReverse(Rng.text)
End Function

Usage is: =RevStr(cellref)

If the data is numeric...... =RevStr(cellref)*1 which forces it back to
numeric.

This function would be copied to a general module in your workbook.

If not familiar with macros and VBA, visit David McRitchie's website on
"getting started".

In the meantime..........

To create a General Module, hit ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor.

Hit CRTL + R to open Project Explorer.

Find your workbook/project and select it.

Right-click and InsertModule. Paste the above code in there. Save the
workbook and hit ALT + Q to return to your workbook.

If I have the following text string in a cell "abc123.xyz" how do I reverse
the contents i.e. "zyx.321cba"?

If the cell contains a numeric value e.g. 12345, then I want to know how to
reverse it i.e. 54321
