Excel convert char to ascii number
Some important ASCII codes helpful in MS Excel:
9 - Horizontal Tab
10 - New Line character
11 - Vertical Tab
33 to 41 - Special Characters above numbers on keyboard i.e. !, @, # . to . *, ( and ).
48 to 57 - Numbers 0 to 9
65 to 90 - Capital Letters A to Z
97 to 122 - Small Letters a to z
153 - Trademark symbol TM
169 - Copyright Symbol ©
¤ - Generic Currency comes from CHAR(164)
$ - Dollar comes from CHAR(36)
£ - Pound comes from CHAR(163)
¥ - Yen comes from CHAR(165)
€ - Euro symbol comes from CHAR(128)
¢ - Cent symbol comes from CHAR(162)
i) CHR function in VBA is equivalent to CHAR function in MS Excel. The behavious of CHR function in VBA is analogous to CHAR function in MS Excel.
ii) CODE function in MS Excel is inverse of CHAR function. For eg. CODE("A") would return 65. It means CODE(CHAR(100)) = 100.
Example 01: If you would like to merge information from multiple cells into one cell including 'new line', you could use CHAR(10) in the below manner using either of the CONCATENATE function or '&' operator.
ii) See the result, how cleanly and beautifully the information is consolidated and displayed in MS Excel.
="Historical data of Pound (" & CHAR(163) & "), Euro (" & CHAR(128) & ") and Dollar (" & (CHAR(36) & ")")
ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
Unlike you and me these computers since their birth can only understand numbers, hence an ASCII code is the numerical representation of a character such as 'z' or '$'. ASCII was developed a long time ago and now the non-printing characters are rarely used for their original purpose. Below is the ASCII character table and this includes descriptions of the first 32 non-printing characters. ASCII was actually designed for use with teletypes and so the descriptions are somewhat obscure.
If someone says they want your RESUME, however in ASCII format then what they mean is that they want 'plain' text with no formatting such as tabs, bold or underscoring - the raw format that any computer can understand. This is usually so they can easily import the file into their own applications without issues.

Convert unicode to corresponding text in Excel spreadsheet
I use "Char" to convert an ascii number to a character. What do I use to convert a unicode number to a character?
I'm building a Hebrew conversion chart. For example, 1489 is the letter "BET". I have 1489 in column A, and want to show a BET in column B.
I think you have to do your own function, VBA has a function to get the character from a code, but I don't know a worksheet function. So, just put in a module of your Excel file this function:
And then you can call this from your worksheet using =Unicode(A1)
If your Excel has a font that is able to display your character then you will see it.
(if your numbers are in hex):
I ran into this little problem today, so here's an update:
Excel 2013 introduced the function UNICHAR() which returns the character of the Unicode value given in decimal notation. The function UNICODE() works the other way around, returning a character's Unicode value. This is not available in earlier Excel versions, including Office for Mac 2011.
The exact same functions are however available in the current version of the open-source software LibreOffice Calc (and OpenOffice Calc, I suppose).
E.g., you have a long column 'A' with hexadecimal Unicode values (without the “U+”) and want the characters in column 'B'. Since UNICHAR needs decimal values, combine it with the conversion function HEX2DEC() in the formula. So, in cell B1 put in the formula:
Or, if the values are already in decimal format:
To apply the formula to all cells below B1, double-click the little handle on the lower left corner of the highlighted cell frame (works in Calc and Excel). Format the column with a font that covers as many Unicode glyphs as possible, e.g., MS Arial Unicode (not the 'normal' Arial). That's it.
(A problem might occur, where the cells display the formula itself instead of the results. In this case the column needs to be formatted to the content type 'text' or 'general'. )
In Apple Numbers ’09, CHAR () does work with Unicode values. The formula is:
Excel convert char to ascii number
The CHAR function returns a character (that is, a letter, number, figure or symbol) based on the ASCII value used as its criteria.
To explain further, for the uninitiated – each character that you type into anything on a computer has a corresponding ‘ASCII’ value allocated to it. For example, the ASCII value for a capital ‘A’ is 65, capital ‘B’ is 66, and a lowercase ‘a’ is 97. Follow this link for the full ASCII table, if you’re interested in finding out more.
Anyway, back to business. The CHAR function takes the ASCII number and converts it to its corresponding text character. It looks like this:-
Where ‘ASCII’ reference number is the ASCII value you want to convert to a character. Here’s an example of it in use:-
It’s really that simple!
Note: The CHAR function carries out the opposite of the CODE function.
