This page show how Excel Text and Data functions map to Analytica equivalents

ASC(text)

Analytica's Asc function is not an equivalent to Excel's ASC function. Excel's ASC function converts double-byte character sets to single-byte character sets. Analytica has no support for double-byte character sets.

BAHTTEXT(number)

Analytica does not contain support the Thai (Baht) language.

CHAR(number)

Analytica equivalent:

Chr(number)

CLEAN(x)

CODE(text)

Analytica equivalent:

Asc(text)

CONCATENATE(text1,text2,...)

Analytica equivalent:

text1 & text2 & ...

Also:

Join(A,I)

DOLLAR(number,decimals)

Analytica equivalent:

"" & number

where the number format for the variable where this expression appears is set to currency with the indicated number of digits.

EXACT(text1,text2)

Analytica equivalent:

text1 = text2

FIND(find_text,within_text,start_num), FINDB(find_text,within_text,start_num)

Analytica equivalent:

FindInText(find_text,within_text,start_num)

FIXED(number,decimals,no_commas)

Analytica equivalent:

"" & number

where the number format for the current variable is set to fixed format with the indicated number of decimals, and thousands separators checked or unchecked as desired.

JIS(text)

No Analytica equivalent, since Analytica does not support double-byte characters.

LEFT(text,num_chars), LEFTB(text,num_chars)

Analytica equivalent:

SelectText(text,1,num_chars)

LEN(text), LENB(text)

Analytica equivalent:

TextLength(text)

LOWER(text)

Analytica equivalent:

TextLowerCase(text)

MID(text,start_num,num_chars), MIDB(text,start_num,num_chars)

Analytica equivalent:

SelectText(text,start_num,start_num + num_chars - 1)

PHONETIC

PROPER

REPLACE

REPLACEB

REPT

RIGHT

RIGHTB

SEARCH

SEARCHB

SUBSTITUTE

T

TEXT

TRIM

UPPER(text)

Analytica equivalent:

TextUpperCase(text)

VALUE
