OCT2DEC(number, places)
- Where is the octal number to be converted to decimal number.
is the octal number to be converted to decimal number.- 'places' is the number of characters to display the output.
OCT2DEC() converts an octal number to a decimal number.
Description
OCT2DEC(number, places)
For example,
OCT2DEC("100") returns 64 as a result.
OCT2DEC("500",4) returns '0320' as a result.
- This function is used to convert an octal number to a decimal number.
- The 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 is not a valid number, 'Calci' returns an #N/A error message.
- A number preceding with '0' (e.g 013) should be written in text format ("013") to avoid confusion with hexadecimal numbers.
- If 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 |
