HEX2DEC function

PRO BASIC

The HEX2DEC function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro is a tool that allows you to convert a hexadecimal number into a decimal number. Hexadecimal is a numbering system that uses 16 different symbols (0-9 and A-F), while decimal is the standard numbering system we use daily (0-9). So, if you input a hexadecimal number into the HEX2DEC function, it will output the corresponding decimal value. This function is especially useful when dealing with data that includes hexadecimal numbers.

Documentation

Converts a hexadecimal number to decimal.

Syntax

HEX2DEC(x)

Parameter	Description
`x`	The hexadecimal number you want to convert to decimal.

Behavior

The HEX2DEC function converts a hexadecimal number to decimal. The function takes only one argument which is the hexadecimal number that you want to convert to a decimal number. Here's how it handles various inputs:

Empty cells: If the HEX2DEC function is given an empty cell, it will return a #VALUE! error.
Text: The function will try to interpret any text it's given as a hexadecimal number. If the text can't be interpreted as such, it will return a #VALUE! error.
Booleans: Booleans are not valid input for the HEX2DEC function and it will return a #VALUE! error.
Errors: If the argument to HEX2DEC is an error, it will return that error.
Hexadecimal number: The function will correctly convert a hexadecimal number to a decimal number.

Common Errors

Error	Description
`#NUM!`	Occurs if the hexadecimal number is invalid or the result of the conversion would be greater than 2^40 - 1 or less than -2^39.
`#VALUE!`	Occurs if the given argument is not a valid hexadecimal number, the cell is empty, or the argument is a boolean.
`#N/A`	Occurs if the required argument for the function is missing.

Best practices

Always ensure that the input to the HEX2DEC function is a valid hexadecimal number to avoid errors.

The HEX2DEC function can handle both positive and negative hexadecimal numbers. But remember, negative hexadecimal numbers must be in two’s complement notation.

Use error handling functions like IFERROR or ISERROR alongside HEX2DEC to handle possible errors and keep your spreadsheet clean and professional.

Usage

A few examples using the HEX2DEC function.

HEX2DEC("A") returns 10  
HEX2DEC("1D") returns 29  
HEX2DEC("FFFF") returns 65535
