Data Type

Description

Arg1

Variant

Number - the octal number you want to convert. Number may not contain more than 10 octal characters (30 bits). The most significant bit of number is the sign bit. The remaining 29 bits are magnitude bits. Negative numbers are represented using two's-complement notation.

  • If number is negative, OCT2HEX ignores places and returns a 10-character hexadecimal number.

  • If number is not a valid octal number, OCT2HEX returns the #NUM! error value.

  • If OCT2HEX requires more than places characters, it returns the #NUM! error value.

  • If places is not an integer, it is truncated.

  • If places is nonnumeric, OCT2HEX returns the #VALUE! error value.
