choose font <symbols> and type a you will get alpha

character map in system tools will have alphanumeric codes in English

=char(65) is A
=char(90) is Z
=char(97) is a etc

R, I did work all the uk codes out for myself (a long process lol) but
wondered if there was a preset formula in excel. You have been Very helpful
thank you so very much.

If you need to use in VBA:
It goes by CHR, Not Char;

Dim MyChar
MyChar = Chr(65) ' Returns A.
MyChar = Chr(97) ' Returns a.
MyChar = Chr(62) ' Returns >.
MyChar = Chr(37) ' Returns %.

If you're using xl2002+, maybe Insert|symbol would help.

Chip Pearson has an addin that may help (if you're using xl2k or lower).

(look for Symbolizer and make sure you get the correct version)

Or even use Windows own CharMap:
(Windows start button|run|Charmap)

And if you're looking to find out what's already in a cell, Chip Pearson has a
very nice addin that can show you those codes:
