The BIN2DEC function
in Excel is used to convert a binary number to its decimal equivalent. Here’s
how you can use it along with some examples:
Using the BIN2DEC Function
To use
the BIN2DEC function, you simply need to enter the binary number as
the argument. The syntax is:
=BIN2DEC(binary_number)
Where binary_number is the binary value you want to convert to decimal.
Examples
Here
are some examples of how to use the BIN2DEC function:
- If cell A1 contains the binary
number “101101”, the formula:
=BIN2DEC(A1)
would
return the decimal value 45.
- For the binary number “11000” in
cell A2, the formula:
=BIN2DEC(A2)
would
give you 24 as the decimal value.
- If cell A3 has “1110101”, using
the formula:
=BIN2DEC(A3)
would
result in 117.
- With “1001” in cell A4, the
formula:
=BIN2DEC(A4)
would
return 9.
- For “10101” in cell A5, the
formula:
=BIN2DEC(A5)
would
give you 21.
- If cell A6 contains “11111111”,
the formula:
=BIN2DEC(A6)
would
result in 255.
- With “110011” in cell A7, the
formula:
=BIN2DEC(A7)
would
give you 51.
- For “111000” in cell A8, the
formula:
=BIN2DEC(A8)
would
result in 56.
- If cell A9 has “10011”, using the
formula:
=BIN2DEC(A9)
would
give you 19.
Important Notes
- The BIN2DEC function
can handle binary numbers up to 10 bits, with the most significant bit
being the sign bit.
- Negative numbers are represented
using two’s-complement notation.
- If the binary number is not valid
or contains more than 10 characters (10 bits), the function will return
a #NUM! error.
These
examples should help you understand how to use the BIN2DEC function
in Excel.
