HEX2DEC(number, places)
places argument to be included in upcoming version
- Where is the hexadecimal number to be converted to decimal number.
is the hexadecimal number to be converted to decimal number.HEX2DEC() converts a hexadecimal number to a decimal number.
Description
HEX2DEC(number)
For example,
HEX2DEC("F") returns 15 as a result.
HEX2DEC("01D") returns 29 as a result.
- This function is used to convert a hexadecimal number to a decimal number.
- Hexadecimal number uses digits from 0 to 9 and characters from A to F. The number can also be entered in text format (e.g "1F").
- A preceding with '0' (e.g 013) should be written in text format ("013") to avoid confusion with octal numbers.
- A 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 is not a valid number, 'Calci' returns an #ERROR message.
Below are few examples that show the use of combination of functions and get the result in decimal -
1)SUM(HEX2DEC("FF"),HEX2DEC("57")) returns 342 as a result.
2)HEX2DEC("65") - HEX2DEC("42") returns 35 as a result.
