Example
To use the ajBigStrSumByte formula, firstly we have to assign a big string ID to the input range. This is done using the ajBigstrSet formula.
After converting into a big string ID, we can then use the formula as shown in B8 and it will sum all character's byte value of the input big string.
Error Scenarios
It will return #VALUE! when missing any required parameter or mismatch parameter type. Besides, system will raise error for below scenario(s).
