Engineering - DEC2HEX Function

Description

The DEC2HEX function converts a decimal number to hexadecimal.

Syntax

DEC2HEX (number, [places])

Arguments

Argument Description Required/ Optional
number

The decimal integer you want to convert.

If number is negative, places is ignored and DEC2HEX returns a 10-character (40-bit) hexadecimal number in which the most significant bit is the sign bit. The remaining 39 bits are magnitude bits.

Negative numbers are represented using two's-complement notation.

 Required
places

The number of characters to use.

If places is omitted, DEC2HEX uses the minimum number of characters necessary.

Places is useful for padding the return value with leading 0s (zeros).

 Optional

Notes

  • If Number is < -549,755,813,888 or if Number is > 549,755,813,887, DEC2HEX returns the #NUM! error value.

  • If Number is non-numeric, DEC2HEX returns the #VALUE! error value.

  • If the result of DEC2HEX requires more than the number of specified Places characters, it returns the #NUM! Error value. For example, DEC2HEX(64,1) returns the error value because the result (40) requires two characters.

  • If Places is not an integer, the value of Places is truncated.

  • If Places is non-numeric, DEC2HEX returns the #VALUE! error value.

  • If Places is negative, DEC2HEX returns the #NUM! error value.

Applicability

Excel 2007, Excel 2010, Excel 2013, Excel 2016
