HEX2DECThe HEX2DEC function converts a signed hexadecimal number to decimal format.
Sample Usage
HEX2DEC(“f3”)
HEX2DEC(A2)
Syntax
HEX2DEC(signed_hexadecimal_number)
signed_hexadecimal_number – The signed 40-bit hexadecimal value to be converted to decimal, 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 7fffffffff if positive, and a minimum of 8000000000 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, HEX2DEC(199) and HEX2DEC(“199”) yield the same result: 409.
Notes
As with any hexadecimal value, only the digits 0-9 and the letters A-F are valid. Digits other than these will cause HEX2DEC to return a #NUM! error.
Hexadecimal digits are not case-sensitive; a-f and A-F are equivalent.
