BIN2HEX Function

The BIN2HEX function is one of the engineering functions. It is used to convert a binary number into a hexadecimal number.

The BIN2HEX function syntax is:

BIN2HEX(number [, num-hex-digits])

where

number is a binary number entered manually or included into the cell you make reference to.

num-hex-digits is the number of digits to display. If omitted, the function will use the minimum number.

Note: if the argument is not recognised as a binary number, or contains more than 10 characters, or the resulting hexadecimal number requires more digits than you specified, or the specified num-hex-digits number is less than or equal to 0, the function will return the #NUM! error.

1. select the cell where you wish to display the result,
