Calculation of depriciation

Depreciation means the expense of fixed assets. The depreciation calculation is used to find out how this cost should be spread over several periods, since it is assumed that we are not rich enough to immediately reimburse the cost of purchasing a fixed asset.

When processing, there is often a need to “cut” the text in one of the columns from the left, from the right or from the given position, or to find a part of it in order to use it to generate some new content …

Ignoring text related functions will not leave you in shock, but you will certainly be deprived of some useful tools. These functions are numerous, and in the “recipe” that follows I’ll describe these that allow merging of two or more texts into one, converting text to number or number in text, determining the length of text …
