REMARKS

* This function was added in Microsoft 365.
* This function can create a Dynamic Array Formula.
* Any text values are unchanged and any non-text values are converted to text.
* Numerical values are aligned on the right by default.
* Text values are aligned on the left by default.
* Boolean values (such as True and False) are aligned in the center by default.
* If "format" = 1, then escape characters and row delimiters may be included in the generated string. This string can be parsed when entered into the formula bar. This encapsulates returned strings in quotes except for Booleans, Numbers and Errors.
* If "format" is anything other than 0 or 1, then #VALUE! is returned.
* You can use Text to Columns to convert values to text.
* You can use the ARRAYTOTEXT function to return the contents of an array or cell range converted into text.
* You can use the CONCAT function to return a text string that is a concatenation of cell ranges and strings.
* You can use the ISTEXT function to return True or False depending if the value is text.
* You can use the TEXT function to return a number as a formatted text string.
* This function was first released in July 2021.
