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 number preceding with '0' (e.g 013) should be written in text format ("013") to avoid confusion with octal numbers.
  • A number can be up to 10 characters (40 bits). The most significant bit is the sign bit and remaining are magnitude bits.
  • If the number 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.
