HEX2OCT

Definition of HEX2OCT

Converts a signed hexadecimal number to signed octal format.

Sample Usage

HEX2OCT("f3",8)

HEX2OCT(A2)

Syntax

HEX2OCT(signed_hexadecimal_number, [significant_digits])

• signed_hexadecimal_number - The signed 40-bit hexadecimal value to be converted to signed octal, provided as a string.

  • The most significant bit of signed_hexadecimal_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 1FFFFFFF if positive, and a minimum of FFE0000000 if negative.

  • If signed_hexadecimal_number is provided as a valid hexadecimal number, it will automatically be converted to the appropriate string input. For example, HEX2OCT(199) and HEX2OCT("199") yield the same result: 631.

• 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 the most significant bit of signed_hexadecimal_number is 1; that is, if the expressed signed_hexadecimal_number is greater than or equal to 8000000000.

Notes

• As with any hexadecimal value, only the digits 0-9 and the letters A-F are valid. Digits other than these will cause HEX2OCT to return a #NUM! error.

  • Hexadecimal digits are not case-sensitive; a-f and A-F are equivalent.

• 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 HEX2OCT take into account that it is in octal. Results will be silently converted; thus if cell A2 contains 111, the octal equivalent of hexadecimal49, and B2 contains a formula such as =A2+9, the result will be 120, which is incorrect in octal calculation.
