DEC2HEX function

PRO BASIC

The DEC2HEX function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro is a tool that allows you to convert a decimal number into a hexadecimal format. Hexadecimal is a base-16 number system used in digital and computer systems. When you input a decimal number into the DEC2HEX function, it will output the corresponding hexadecimal value. This function is especially useful when dealing with data that needs to be represented in a hexadecimal format.

Documentation

Converts a decimal number to hexadecimal format.

Syntax

DEC2HEX(number, [places])

Parameter	Description
`number`	The decimal number you want to convert to hexadecimal.
`[places]`	Optional. The minimum number of characters to use for the hexadecimal number. If omitted or zero, the function will use as many characters as necessary.

Behavior

The DEC2HEX function is used to convert decimal numbers into hexadecimal. Here are some behaviors to expect:

If the cell is empty, the function will return an error.
The function only accepts numerical values. If a text string is entered, an error would be returned.
It can handle positive numbers, negative numbers, and zero.
Boolean values are implicitly converted: TRUE becomes 1, FALSE becomes 0.
If an error (like #VALUE! or #DIV/0!) is in the cell referenced by the function, it will return that error.

Common Errors

Error	Description
#VALUE!	This error occurs if the provided argument is non-numeric.
#NUM!	This error is returned when the provided number is less than -549,755,813,888 or more than 549,755,813,887.

Best practices

Always ensure that the input value to the DEC2HEX function is a decimal number.

Be aware of the numerical limits of the DEC2HEX function to avoid the #NUM! error.

Use error handling functions like IFERROR to handle possible errors that may arise from using the DEC2HEX function.

Remember that the DEC2HEX function will treat boolean values as 1 (for TRUE) and 0 (for FALSE). Make sure this is the expected behavior for your use case.

Usage

A few examples using the DEC2HEX function.

DEC2HEX(255) ➝ FF  
// 255 in decimal is FF in hexadecimal

DEC2HEX(42, 4) ➝ 002A  
// Converts 42 to hex with 4-character padding

DEC2HEX(1000) ➝ 3E8  
// Basic decimal to hex conversion

DEC2HEX(-1) ➝ FFFFFFFFFF  
// Negative number shown in 10-digit two's complement hex

DEC2HEX("ABC") ➝ #VALUE!  
// Invalid input – non-numeric text
