A 'character set' maps characters to their identifying code values, and may vary across operating environments viz. Use the CHAR Function to return the character identified to the specified number.
If cell A1 contains the text "Bond", CODE(A1) returns 66, which is the code for "B", the first character in the text string. =CODE(A1) returns 66, using cell reference. =CODE("America") returns 65, which is the code for "A", the first character in the text string. =CODE(""), no space between inverted commas, returns the #VALUE! error value. =CODE(" "), note the space between inverted commas, returns 32. =CODE("-1") returns 45, which is the code for "-" (hyphen). In a Windows computer, Code function will return values as follows: The formula =CODE(CHAR(65)) returns 65, because =CHAR(65) returns the character "A" and =CODE("A") returns 65.
Note that the Excel CODE function is the inverse of the Excel CHAR function. The equivalent of excel CODE function in vba is the Asc function. The text_string argument is the text string whose first character's numeric code is returned. The returned numeric code corresponds to this character set - for a Windows computer, Excel uses the standard ANSI character set to return the numeric code. The CODE Function returns the identifying numeric code of the first character in a text string. Excel Text and String Functions: LEFT, RIGHT, MID, LEN, FIND, SEARCH, REPLACE, SUBSTITUTE.
