OCT2HEX
The OCT2HEX function converts an octal number to the corresponding hexadecimal
number.
OCT2HEX(octal-string, convert-length)
 octal-string: The string representing the number to be converted. octal-string is a
string value. It must contain only the numbers 0 through 7.
 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.
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
=OCT2HEX(127,4) returns 0057.
=OCT2HEX(15) returns 0D.
