BIN2HEX
Definition of BIN2HEX
Converts a signed binary number to signed hexadecimal format.
Sample Usage
BIN2HEX(101,8)
BIN2HEX(A2)
Syntax
BIN2HEX(signed_binary_number, [significant_digits])
signed_binary_number
- The signed 10-bit binary value to be converted to signed hexademical, provided as a string.The most significant bit of
signed_binary_number
is the sign bit; that is, negative numbers are represented in two's complement format.For this function, this value has a maximum of 0111111111 if positive, and a minimum of 1000000000 if negative.
If
signed_binary_number
is provided as a valid binary number, it will automatically be converted to the appropriate string input. For example,BIN2HEX(11111)
andBIN2HEX("11111")
yield the same result:1F
.
significant_digits
- [ OPTIONAL ] - The number of significant digits to ensure in the result.If this is greater than the number of significant digits in the result, the result is left-padded with zeros until the total number of digits reaches
significant_digits
. For example,BIN2HEX("11111",8)
yields the value0000001F
.This value is ignored if the most significant bit of
signed_binary_number
is1
; that is, if the expressedsigned_binary_number
is greater than or equal to 1000000000.
Notes
As with any binary value, only the digits
0
and1
are valid. Digits other than these will causeBIN2HEX
to return a#NUM!
error.If the number of digits required is greater than the specified
significant_digits
, the#NUM!
error is returned.Ensure that any calculations using the result of BIN2HEX take into account that it is in hexadecimal. In particular, results which do not contain non-decimal digits (
A-F
) will be silently converted; thus if cellA2
contains111
, the hexadecimal equivalent of binary100010001
, andB2
contains a formula such as=A2+9
, the result will be120
, which is incorrect in hex calculation.
