BASETONUM
The BASETONUM function converts a number of the specied base into a number
in base 10.
BASETONUM(convert-string, base)
 convert-string: The string representing the number to be converted. convert-string
is a string value. It must contain only numbers and letters that apply in the base of
the number being converted.
 base: The current base of the number to be converted. base is a number value and
must be in the range 1 to 36.
