Documentation/How Tos/Calc: TEXT function

TEXT

Converts a number into text according to a given format.

Syntax:

TEXT(number; format)

returns number converted to text, according to the format code specified by format.

Example format codes are found in the Format - Cells... dialogue, in the box labelled Format Code. These depend on your locale.

This function should therefore not be regarded as portable.

Example:

TEXT(12.34567;"###.##")

returns the text 12.35, if in your locale ###.## is a format code meaning "up to three integer digits and at most two decimal digits".
