[Jborg]

Hi Guys,

I need to ask the following and thanks for helping out.

I am using the keyboard shortcut Alt+234, ans I am supposed to get the Ω.
Instead I am getting Û

Does anyone help me, maybe i need a setting???

Hi

• The keyboard method is machine specific and not universal.
• The Unicode character omega is 03A9 or 937.
• Where do you want to paste the character? Word, Excel…
• Inside Excel, you can get it with =UNICHAR (937) or Insert>Symbol.
• At Windows, by running charmap.exe
• An interesting page: Unicode Character 'GREEK CAPITAL LETTER OMEGA' (U+03A9)

Hi Worf,

Thanks for the Info. I want to use it i excel. I knew that the Keyboard shortcut is ALT + 234, but I was getting another symbol.

=UNICHAR(937) will do. Thanks for your help.

However, If I need to insert the Omega sign in the match function to find the last Character in a range like =index(Range,Match("Omega",Range,1)) - What would I use as a keyboard shortcut??

These keyboard shortcuts are dependent on your System Locale. Change your system locale to the US for these to work.
Or try using the keyboard shortcut Alt + 1002.
Many symbols can be inserted using a \+name of the symbol, that means \omega in your case.

If you have the following formula at L44:

=UNICHAR (937)

Then omega can be referenced in another formula:

=MATCH (L44, M44:M52,0)
