CODE Formula Syntax
Example Use Case
Returning the ASCII code of a character for text analysis
Understanding the CODE Formula
The CODE function in Excel returns the ASCII or ANSI code of the first character in a text string, the reverse of CHAR. It’s a text tool for analyzing characters—like checking encoding or building logic based on codes.
CODE("A") returns 65, the ASCII code for 'A'. It takes a text string, using only the first character, offering a numeric insight into text—useful for debugging or formatting tricks.
Why Use CODE?
CODE decodes text—think validating inputs or mapping characters. Its code output lets you peek under the hood of strings, enabling precise text manipulation or checks.
Example with Sample Data
Text | Formula | Result |
---|---|---|
'A' | =CODE("A") | 65 |
'abc' | =CODE("abc") | 97 |
'$' | =CODE("$") | 36 |
CODE reveals codes: 'A' is 65, 'a' in 'abc' is 97. It’s a character coder.
