BIN2DECThe BIN2DEC function converts a signed binary number to decimal format.
Sample Usage
BIN2DEC(101)
BIN2DEC(A2)
Syntax
BIN2DEC(signed_binary_number)
signed_binary_number – The signed 10-bit binary value to be converted to decimal, 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, the input 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, BIN2DEC(100) and BIN2DEC(“100”) yield the same result: 4.
Notes
As with any binary value, only the digits 0 and 1 are valid. Digits other than these will cause BIN2DEC to return a #NUM! error.
