DEC2OCT

The DEC2OCT function converts a decimal number to the corresponding octal number.

DEC2OCT(decimal-string, convert-length)

Â

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.

Â

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 specified by convert-length.

Examples

=DEC2OCT(100) returns 144.
=DEC2OCT(”1001”, 4) returns 1751.
