BITRSHIFT Function

The BITRSHIFT function is one of the engineering functions. It is used to return a number shifted right by the specified number of bits.

The BITRSHIFT function syntax is:

BITRSHIFT(number, shift_amount)

where

number is an integer greater than or equal to 0,

shift_amount is a number of bits by which you want to shift number, an integer.

The numeric values can be entered manually or included into the cell you make reference to.

Shifting a number right is equivalent to removing digits from the rightmost side of the binary representation of the number.
