T

MS Excel Spreadsheet

See Also

Returns the text referred to by value.

Syntax

T(value)

Value    is the value you want to test.

Remarks

  • If value is or refers to text, T returns value. If value does not refer to text, T returns "" (empty text).

  • You do not generally need to use the T function in a formula because values are generally converted as necessary. This function is provided for compatibility with other spreadsheet programs.

Example

The example may be easier to understand if you copy it to a blank spreadsheet.
