Microsoft should be able to do this as it is one of the most profitable company in the world. The internal char handling scheme of excel may need to be changed in order to achieve this. But it should not be a problem for their programmers which should be among the best in the world ... It seems obvious that they should upgrade their excel’s code() function.

Espescially if the boxes have special lines around them. It would be really good if you woud know that. thank you! Hi

I came here looking for a solution to this problem. In my search I found out that apparently there is something called "Power Utility Pak" that will let one do this in Excel. While PUP isn't gratis, its existence makes me believe that there might be a competitor that is. Anyway, I think I'll be checking out OpenOffice.org instead, because this is just too much of a hassle. Yo. I came here looking for a solution to this problem.

You might to read my other blog article on Numbers - http://curmi.com/blog/2007/08/26/functions-in-excel-and-numbers/ In particular, take a look at the spreadsheet I mention. You'll see that Pearsons Coefficient is not available in Numbers. So my answer to your question is, currently, you'll most likely need to use Excel. Hey blondie.

For years I tried to make a list of chinese / dutch / german words, and could only do it in word, because excel couldn't handle the chinese characters. I think this is just an annoying bug on microsoft's side... I think you just found out that excel doesn’t support unicode.
