*Where 'number' is a hexadecimal number to be converted and

*Where <math>number</math> is a hexadecimal number to be converted and

*'places' is the number of characters to be used to display the output.

*<math>places</math> is the number of characters to be used to display the output.

HEX2OCT converts a hexadecimal number to its octal equivalent.

HEX2OCT converts a hexadecimal number to its octal equivalent.

HEX2OCT("09") ''returns 0000000011''

HEX2OCT("09") ''returns 0000000011''

*'number' must be a hexadecimal number. Hexadecimal number uses digits 0 to 9 and characters A to F. The number can also be entered in text format (e.g "1F").

*<math>number</math> must be a hexadecimal number. Hexadecimal number uses digits 0 to 9 and characters A to F. The number can also be entered in text format (e.g "1F").

*The most significant bit represents the 'sign' of the number. Negative numbers are represented using 2's complement notation.

*The most significant bit represents the 'sign' of the number. Negative numbers are represented using 2's complement notation.

*A number preceding with '0' (e.g 013) should be written in text format ("013") to avoid confusion with octal numbers.

*A number preceding with '0' (e.g 013) should be written in text format ("013") to avoid confusion with octal numbers.

*Calci returns an #ERROR message if 'number' contains more than 10 characters (10 bits).  

*Calci returns an #ERROR message if <math>number</math> contains more than 10 characters (10 bits).

*If 'number' is negative, Calci ignores the places and displays 10 digit octal output.

*If <math>number</math> is negative, Calci ignores the places and displays 10 digit octal output.

*If 'places' is not an integer, it is truncated.

*If <math>places</math> is not an integer, it is truncated.

*If 'places' are non-numeric, Calci returns an #ERROR message.  

*If <math>places</math> are non-numeric, Calci returns an #ERROR message.  

*If 'places' is negative, Calci ignores the places and uses the minimum number of digits required to display the octal output.

*If <math>places</math> is negative, Calci ignores the places and uses the minimum number of digits required to display the octal output.

*If 'places' is omitted, Calci displays the 10 digit octal output by adding the leading zeros (if required).

*If <math>places</math> is omitted, Calci displays the 10 digit octal output by adding the leading zeros (if required).

*If 'places' is less than the digits required by the output, Calci ignores the places and uses the minimum number of digits required to display the octal output.

*If <math>places</math> is less than the digits required by the output, Calci ignores the places and uses the minimum number of digits required to display the octal output.
