TEXTAFTER and TEXTBEFORE on text without array formula

Using a number as input to a function that expects a text, inserts an
additional source of possible differences. Therefore the attachment uses text
as input.

Excel and Calc differ in corner cases. However, Excel is not consistent in its
result for empty cell and empty string.

The result Err:504 (= Error in parameter list) is surely wrong for the case of
an empty string, because an empty string is nevertheless a string. I would
expect a #N/A as default and the fallback string if given. However, Excel
returns an error. As Excel is inconsistent in the returned error, I have no
recommendation for this case.

The result for an empty cell as input is questionable. It is likely, that the
ODF TC will agree on resulting an error, but will not specify what kind of
error. Here too, as Excel is inconsistent in the returned error, I have no
recommendation for this case.
