STRING (function)

The STRING function is used to create a string by repeating a single character or substring a certain number of times. This is very useful for creating fixed-length strings, such as borders, padding, or separators.

The STRING function has several applications: it can be used to create borders for your tables or to delimit sections of text, and spaces to align text or to create fixed-width columns. You can create lines of special characters to separate different sections of an output, or a create repeating patterns of characters.
