Reverse Text

ASAP Utilities › Text  ›  26. Reverse Text

This tool returns a string in which the character order of each selected cell's content is reversed.

It works with both text and numbers.
Formulas are replaced with their calculated values before processing.
Cells that contain dates are skipped.

Examples:

  • "Excel" becomes "lecxE"
  • "123456" becomes "654321"
  • "AB-123" becomes "321-BA"

Reversing text can help fix data that was stored or exported in reverse order, convert reversed IDs or codes back to readable format, or prepare mirrored text for labels or printing.
It's also useful in testing scenarios and creative applications like puzzles or quizzes.
