OCT2DEC(number, places)
places argument to be included in upcoming version
- Where 'number' is the octal number to be converted to decimal number.
OCT2DEC() converts an octal number to a decimal number.
Description
OCT2DEC(number)
For example,
OCT2DEC("100") returns 64 as a result.
OCT2DEC("500") returns '320' as a result.
- This function is used to convert an octal number to a decimal number.
- The 'number' should be in the range '7777777000' for negative numbers (DEC -512) to '777' for positive numbers (DEC 511).
- A number can be up to 10 characters (40 bits). The most significant bit is the sign bit and remaining are magnitude bits. A negative number is represented in 2's complement format.
- If the number is not a valid number, 'Calci' returns an #ERROR message.
- A number preceding with '0' (e.g 013) should be written in text format ("013") to avoid confusion with hexadecimal numbers.
- If number is not an integer, Calci truncates the value to calculate the output.
Below are few examples that show the use of combination of functions and get the result in decimal -
1)SUM(OCT2DEC("65"), OCT2DEC("11")) returns 62 as a result.
2)OCT2DEC("654") - OCT2DEC("54") returns 384 as a result.
Examples
| Octal Input | Decimal Output |
| OCT2DEC("15") | 13 |
| OCT2DEC("40.44") | 32 |
| OCT2DEC("-55") | -45 |
