NUMTOBASE
The NUMTOBASE function converts a number from base 10 into a number in the
specied base.
NUMTOBASE(decimal-string, base, convert-length)
 decimal-string: The string representing the number to be converted. decimal-string
is a string value. It must contain only the numbers 0 through 9.
 base: The new base of the number to be converted. base is a number value and
must be in the range 1 to 36.
 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.
Examples
=NUMTOBASE(16, 16) returns 10.
=NUMTOBASE(100, 32, 4) returns 0034.
=NUMTOBASE(100,2) returns 1100100.
