BIN2HEX
The BIN2HEX function converts a binary number to the corresponding hexadecimal
number.
BIN2HEX(binary-string, convert-length)
 binary-string: The string representing the number to be converted. binary-string is
a string value. It must contain only 0s and 1s.
 convert-length: An optional value specifying minimum length of the number
returned. convert-length is a number value and must be in the range 1 to 32. If
omitted, it is assumed to be 1. If included, convert-string is padded with leading
zeros, if necessary, so that it is at least the length specied by convert-length.
Usage Notes
This function uses two’s complement notation, based on 32 bits. Therefore, negative Â
numbers will always be 8 digits in length.
Examples
=BIN2HEX(”100101”) returns 25.
=BIN2HEX(”100111”, 3) returns 027.
=BIN2HEX(101101) returns 2D.
