REPT

Definition

Returns specified text repeated a number of times.

Sample Usage

REPT("ha",4)

REPT(A2,3)

Syntax

REPT(text_to_repeat, number_of_repetitions)

• text_to_repeat - The character or string to repeat.

• number_of_repetitions - The number of times text_to_repeat should appear in the value returned.

  • The maximum number of repetitions is 100. If number_of_repetitions is greater than 100, REPT will only repeat the text 100 times.

Notes

• REPT does not insert spaces between repetitions of text_to_repeat. If spaces are desired, a space must be appended to the end of the value of text_to_repeat. The resulting return value from REPT will have at least one trailing space, which may be removed with TRIM.
