DEC2OCT

Definition of DEC2OCT

Converts a decimal number to signed octal format.

Sample Usage

DEC2OCT("100",8)

DEC2OCT(A2)

Syntax

DEC2OCT(decimal_number, [significant_digits])

  • decimal_number - The decimal value to be converted to signed octal, provided as a string.

    • For this function, this value has a maximum of 536870911 if positive, and a minimum of -53687092 if negative.

    • If decimal_number is provided as a valid decimal number, it will automatically be converted to the appropriate string input. For example, DEC2OCT(199) and DEC2OCT("199") yield the same result:307.

  • 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.

    • This value is ignored if decimal_number is negative.

Notes

  • 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 DEC2OCT take into account that it is in octal. Results will be silently converted; thus if cell A2 contains 111, the octal equivalent of the decimal value 73, and B2 contains a formula such as =A2+9, the result will be 120, which is incorrect in octal calculation.
