BIN2DEC

The 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.
