The TEXT function lets you change the way a number appears by applying formatting to it with format codes. It's useful in situations where you want to display numbers in a more readable format, or you want to combine numbers with text or symbols.
The SEARCH functions locate one text string within a second text string, and return the number of the starting position of the first text string from the first character of the second text string. For example, to find the position of the letter "z" in the word "kazam", you can use the following function:
=SEARCH("z","kazam")
This function returns 3 because "z" is the third character in the word "kazam."
The REPT function Repeats text a given number of times. Use REPT to fill a cell with a number of instances of a text string.
