The BIN2DEC function converts a signed binary number to decimal format.
Sample Usage
BIN2DEC(101)
BIN2DEC(A2)
Syntax
BIN2DEC(signed_binary_number)
-
signed_binary_number
- The signed 10-bit binary value to be converted to decimal, provided as a string.-
The most significant bit of
signed_binary_number
is the sign bit; that is, negative numbers are represented in two's complement format. -
For this function, the input value has a maximum of 0111111111 if positive, and a minimum of 1000000000 if negative.

0
and1
are valid. Digits other than these will causeBIN2DEC
to return a#NUM!
