HEX2DEC(number)

Number is the hexadecimal number you want to convert. Number cannot contain more than 10 characters (40 bits). The most significant bit of number is the sign bit. The remaining 39 bits are magnitude bits. Negative numbers are represented using two's-complement notation.

Remark

If number is not a valid hexadecimal number, HEX2DEC returns the #NUM! error value.

Examples

HEX2DEC("A5") equals 165

HEX2DEC("FFFFFFFF5B") equals -165

HEX2DEC("3DA408B9") equals 1034160313

Hi All,

I want to take a spreadsheet mostly populated with hex values, and replace it with decimal ones (need an easier way of analysing boost maps ).

Problem is, I'm a retard with Excel - does anyone know how I can create a formula to do this?

Thanks
Richard

 

Brilliant - thank you
