◧ Arguments
| Argument | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
number |
Number | Required | 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. |
places |
Number | Optional | 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). |
▣ Examples
Converts decimal value 100 to hexadecimal with 4 characters ("padded" with two leading zeros).
=DEC2HEX(100, 4)
Result:
0064
Converts decimal value -54 to hexadecimal
=DEC2HEX(-54)
Result:
FFFFFFFFCA
Converts decimal value 28 to hexadecimal.
=DEC2HEX(28)
Result:
1C
Returns the #NUM! error value because the result (40) requires 2 character places.
=DEC2HEX(64,1)
Result:
#NUM!
§ Remarks
- 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.
✦ Tips
- If Places is not an integer, the value of Places is truncated.
⚠ Common Errors
#NUM!
If Number is < -549,755,813,888 or if Number is > 549,755,813,887, DEC2HEX returns the #NUM! error value. If the result of DEC2HEX requires more than the number of specified Places characters, it returns the #NUM! error value. If Places is negative, DEC2HEX returns the #NUM! error value.
Fix: An allowed number
#VALUE!
If Number is non-numeric, DEC2HEX returns the #VALUE! error value. If Places is non-numeric, DEC2HEX returns the #VALUE! error value.
Fix: برای Number و Places مقدار عددی وارد کنید.
