Spreadsheet - Extracting from List

[Thomas_Sch]

Hello Dirk,
unfortunately the method to address an element in an list, like =B1(1) ist not working within spreadsheet.
=B1(1) does habe an other meaning in the conext of spreadsheet. See page 200 "Format parameters" in the english manual.

Now I've tried something weird, and =MAX(ASC(B1)) (or MIN) does the job, if you have only on character.
If B1 contains more characters, =MIN(CAS.left(ASC(B1),1)) delivers the ascii value off the first character.
