Did you try to copy&paste the cell content created by ="Hello" & Char(9) & "World"  into a text editor? The tab character is in the string created by the formula, but obviously tabulators do not exist within calc cells.

Hi Uwe,

ah ok thank you for your response. Indeed, the tabulator is created. Thank you!
