Back To Formula Basics – Did You Know About The REPT Function?

In my experience, not that many people have heard of or use the REPT function. So what does it do?. The Microsoft Excel REPT function returns a repeated text value a specified number of times. The syntax of it is as follows-

=REPT(text, number_times)

The REPT function syntax has the following arguments:

Text. This is required. and is the text you want to repeat.

Number_times. This is required and a positive number specifying the number of times to repeat text.

Let’s get charting!. And Create An In Cell Excel Chart.

  1. Enter the REPT formula in the cell you want the chart to sit
  2. Use a divisor to make the length of the bars smaller
  3. Change the font to something that looks a bit more like a chart. I have used the IMPACT font
  4. Change the colour of the font to match your report colour scheme
  5. That’s it. An ‘In-Cell’ chart when you are short on space

Have you ever used the REPT Excel formula before?. Share with me in the comments below if you have.
