Converts an octal number to binary.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Function Oct2Bin ( _
    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.Oct2Bin(Arg1, Arg2)
string Oct2Bin(
    Object Arg1,
    Object Arg2
)

Parameters

  • Arg1
    Type: System.Object

    Number - the octal number you want to convert. Number may not contain more than 10 characters. The most significant bit of number is the sign bit. The remaining 29 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, Oct2Bin 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 is negative, Oct2Bin ignores places and returns a 10-character binary number.

If number is negative, it cannot be less than 7777777000, and if number is positive, it cannot be greater than 777.

If number is not a valid octal number, Oct2Bin returns the #NUM! error value.

If Oct2Bin requires more than places characters, it returns the #NUM! error value.

If places is not an integer, it is truncated.

If places is nonnumeric, Oct2Bin returns the #VALUE! error value.

If places is negative, Oct2Bin returns the #NUM! error value.
