Engineering Functions Foundations
Learn how Excel engineering functions handle base conversion, bitwise logic, and complex numbers.
Bin2dec Function
Convert binary text to decimal numbers in Excel. Useful when you want a normal numeric value from a bit pattern or status word.
Bitand Function
Perform a bitwise AND comparison on two integers. Useful for masks, flag checks, and pulling out specific bits from a value.
Bitlshift Function
Shift bits to the left by a chosen number of positions. Useful for scaling by powers of two, building masks, and moving values into higher bit positions.
Bitor Function
Perform a bitwise OR operation on two integers. Useful for turning flags on, combining masks, and building up bit-based values.
Bitrshift Function
Shift bits to the right by a chosen number of positions. Useful for reducing by powers of two and pulling values out of higher bit positions.
Bitxor Function
Perform a bitwise XOR operation on two integers. Useful for toggling bits, spotting changes, and checking where two bit patterns differ.
Complex Function
Build a complex number from real and imaginary parts in Excel. Useful when the parts start in separate cells and you want one valid complex value for other IM functions.
Dec2bin Function
Convert decimal numbers to binary text in Excel. Useful for bit patterns, masks, and any case where you need to see a number in base 2.
Dec2hex Function
Convert decimal numbers to hexadecimal text in Excel. Useful for memory addresses, color values, and any workflow that needs compact base-16 output.
Dec2oct Function
Convert decimal numbers to octal text in Excel. Useful for Unix-style permissions, legacy systems, and older technical formats that still use base 8.
Hex2bin Function
Convert hexadecimal values to binary text in Excel. Useful when you want to inspect bits behind a hex code or register value.
Hex2dec Function
Convert hexadecimal text to decimal numbers in Excel. Useful when you need a regular numeric value from a hex code or address.
Hex2oct Function
Convert hexadecimal values to octal text in Excel. Useful when you need to move data from a base-16 format into a base-8 format.
Imaginary Function
Return the imaginary part of a complex number in Excel. Useful when you need only the imaginary side of a complex value.
Imreal Function
Return the real part of a complex number in Excel. Useful when you need only the non-imaginary side of a complex value.
Imsub Function
Subtract one complex number from another in Excel. Useful for voltage drops, phase differences, and checking how far one complex reading is from a reference value.
Imsum Function
Add two or more complex numbers in Excel. Useful for combining impedances, phasors, and other complex values without splitting real and imaginary parts by hand.
Oct2bin Function
Convert octal values to binary text in Excel. Useful when you want to inspect the bits behind a base-8 value or legacy code.
Oct2dec Function
Convert octal text to decimal numbers in Excel. Useful when you need a normal numeric value from a base-8 code or legacy format.
Oct2hex Function
Convert octal values to hexadecimal text in Excel. Useful when you need to move data from a base-8 format into a base-16 format.
