<h1>BIN2OCT Function</h1>
<p>The <b>BIN2OCT</b> function is one of the engineering functions. It is used to convert a binary number into an octal number.</p>
<p>The <b>BIN2OCT</b> function syntax is:</p>
<p style="text-indent: 150px;"><b><em>BIN2OCT(number [, num-hex-digits])</em></b></p>
<p><em>where</em></p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>number</em></b> is a binary number entered manually or included into the cell you make reference to.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>num-hex-digits</em></b> is the number of digits to display. If omitted, the function will use the minimum number.</p>
<p class="note"><b>Note:</b> if the argument is not recognised as a binary number, or contains more than 10 characters, or the resulting octal number requires more digits than you specified, or the specified <b><em>num-hex-digits</em></b> number is less than or equal to 0, the function will return the <b>#NUM!</b> error.</p>
<p>To apply the <b>BIN2OCT</b> function,</p>
<ol>
<li>select the cell where you wish to display the result,</li>
<li>click the <b>Insert Function</b> <img alt="Insert Function icon" src="../images/insertfunction.png" /> icon situated at the top toolbar,
<br />or right-click within a selected cell and select the <b>Insert Function</b> option from the menu,
<br />or click the <img alt="Function icon" src="../images/function.png" /> icon situated at the formula bar,
</li>
<li>select the <b>Engineering</b> function group from the list,</li>
<li>click the <b>BIN2OCT</b> function,</li>
<li>enter the required arguments separating them by commas,</li>
<li>press the <b>Enter</b> button.</li>
</ol>
<p>The result will be displayed in the selected cell.</p>
