BITRSHIFTZ(a,b)

• where $a$ is the number to be shifted right
• $b$ is number of bits to be shifted

Description

• BITRSHIFTZ() returns a number shifted to the right, by number of digits specified in the argument.
• $a$ should be an integer greater than or equal to 0.
• $b$ must be an integer value.
• Shifting a number right is equivalent to to removing digits from the rightmost side of the binary representation of the number.

For example, a 1-bit shift to the right on the decimal value 4 converts its binary value (100) to 010, or 2 in decimal.

• If either argument is a non-numeric value, BITRSHIFTZ returns the #VALUE! error value.

Examples

1. =BITRSHIFTZ(10,3) = 1
2. =BITRSHIFTZ(45,32) = 45
3. =BITRSHIFTZ(-21,5) = 134217727
4. =BITRSHIFTZ(17,-2) = 0
