The LEFT function extracts a given number of characters from the left side of a supplied text string.
The RIGHT function extracts a given number of characters from the right side of a supplied text string.
The MID function extracts a given number of characters from the middle of a supplied text string.

The TRIM function strips extra spaces from text, leaving only a single space between words, and removing any
leading or trailing space.
The LEN function returns the number of characters in a given text string.

The FIND function returns the position (as a number) of one text string inside another.
The SEARCH function returns the position (as a number) of one text string inside another.

The REPT function repeats characters a specified number of times.

The CONCATENATE function concatenates (joins) up to 30 values together and returns the result as text.
The CONCAT function concatenates (joins) values supplied as references or constants upto 255 in total.
The TEXTJOIN function concatenates multiple values together with or without a delimiter.

The REPLACE function replaces characters in a text string by position.

The SUBSTITUTE function can replace text by matching.

The VALUE function converts input that appears in a recognized format (i.e. a number, date, or time format)
into a numeric value.

The UPPER function converts a text string to all uppercase letters.

The LOWER function converts a text string to all lowercase letters.
The PROPER function capitalizes each word in a given text string

The Excel CHAR function returns a character when given a valid character code.

Returns a numeric code (ASCII decimal notation) for the first character in a text string

The CLEAN function takes a text string and returns text that has been "cleaned" of line breaks and other non-printable
characters.
The EXACT function compares two text strings, taking into account upper and lower case characters, and returns TRUE
if they are the same, and FALSE if not.
The TEXT function returns a number formatted as text, using the number format provided.
 Comments

LEN counts the number of characters in text, including space and punctuation.

Case sensitive, does not support wildcard characters

Not case sensitive, supports wildcard characters

Although REPT can repeat numbers as well as text, the result from REPT is always a text value.

Inputs are to be selected one-by-one as the function doesn’t support ranges.

It can merge all strings from a given range. It automatically ignores empty cells.

It can merge all strings from a given range. It can optionally ignore empty cells.

Useful when the location of the text to be replaced is known or can be easily determined.

Useful when you want to replace text based on matching, not position.

Normally not needed as Excel automatically converts these inputs to numeric values in the backend

Numbers, punctuation, and spaces are not affected

It only understands numbers 0-255 and is useful when you want to specify characters in formulas or
functions that are awkward or impossible to type directly. For example, CHAR(10) returns a line break.

Removes the first 32 (non-printable) characters in the 7-bit ASCII code (values 0 through 31) from
text.
