ASC Function

The ASC function is one of the text and data functions. Is used to change full-width (double-byte) characters to half-width (single-byte) characters for languages that use the double-byte character set (DBCS) like Japanese, Chinese, Korean etc.

The ASC function syntax is:

ASC(text)

where text is a data entered manually or included into the cell you make reference to. If the text does not contain full-width characters it remains unchanged.

3. select the Text and data function group from the list,
4. click the ASC function,
5. enter the required argument,
