Namespace:  Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
Assembly:  Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel (in Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Function Dec2Bin ( _
    Arg1 As Object, _
    Arg2 As Object _
) As String
'Usage
Dim instance As WorksheetFunction
Dim Arg1 As Object
Dim Arg2 As Object
Dim returnValue As String

returnValue = instance.Dec2Bin(Arg1, Arg2)
string Dec2Bin(
    Object Arg1,
    Object Arg2
)

Parameters

  • Arg1
    Type: System.Object

    Number - the decimal integer you want to convert. If number is negative, valid place values are ignored and Dec2Bin returns a 10-character (10-bit) binary number in which the most significant bit is the sign bit. The remaining 9 bits are magnitude bits. Negative numbers are represented using two's-complement notation.

  • Arg2
    Type: System.Object

    Places - the number of characters to use. If places is omitted, Dec2Bin uses the minimum number of characters necessary. Places is useful for padding the return value with leading 0s (zeros).

Return Value

Type: System.String

Remarks

If number < -512 or if number > 511, Dec2Bin returns the #NUM! error value.

If number is nonnumeric, Dec2Bin returns the #VALUE! error value.

If Dec2Bin requires more than places characters, it returns the #NUM! error value.

If places is not an integer, it is truncated.

If places is nonnumeric, Dec2Bin returns the #VALUE! error value.

If places is zero or negative, Dec2Bin returns the #NUM! error value.
