Синтаксис

ДЕС.В.ШЕСТН(число;[разрядность])

Аргументы функции ДЕС.В.ШЕСТН описаны ниже.

  • Число    — обязательный аргумент. Преобразуемое десятичное число. Если оно отрицательное, то разрядность игнорируется и функция ДЕС.В.ШЕСТН возвращает 10-значное (40-битное) шестнадцатеричное число, в котором самый старший бит является знаковым битом. Остальные 39 бит являются битами значения. Отрицательные числа представляются в дополнительных кодах.

  • Разрядность    Необязательный. Количество знаков в записи числа. Если разрядность опущена, функция ДЕС.В.ШЕСТН использует минимально необходимое количество знаков. Разрядность используется, чтобы приписать возвращаемому значению ведущие нули.

Замечания

  • Если число < -549 755 813 888 или число > 549 755 813 887, то DEC2HEX возвращает #NUM! значение ошибки #ЗНАЧ!.

  • Если число не является числом, то DEC2HEX возвращает #VALUE! значение ошибки #ЗНАЧ!.

  • Если для результата DEC2HEX требуется больше количества знаков Знаков знаков Знаков после заданного числа знаков Знаков после заданного числа знаков, возвращается #NUM! значение ошибки #ЗНАЧ!.
    Например, DEC2HEX(64;1) возвращает значение ошибки, так как для результата (40) требуется два знака.

  • Если значение аргумента «разрядность» не является целым числом, оно усекается.

  • Если число не является числом, то DEC2HEX возвращает #VALUE! значение ошибки #ЗНАЧ!.

  • Если «количество» отрицательное, то DEC2HEX возвращает #NUM! значение ошибки #ЗНАЧ!.

It’s unusual to need to work with Hexadecimal values in Excel, but on these rare occasions it can be challenging to figure out how Excel deals with values of this kind. If you simply enter a value like 0xABCDEF78 Excel will treat it as text and won’t recognize it as a numeric value.

What is Hexadecimal?

Hexadecimal (or Hex for short) is a counting system that uses 16 symbols as opposed to the 10 symbols used in the Decimal counting system that we use more often. Hexadecimal uses the letters A-F as well as the numbers 0-9.

Hexadecimal is most often used by computer systems, though it is also used in some advanced mathematical calculations outside of the world of computing.

Converting Hexadecimal values to Decimal in Excel

Excel won’t recognize a Hexadecimal value, but there is a function in its function library that will convert Hexadecimal values into Decimals: the HEX2DEC function.

For example: =HEX2DEC(“FF”) will return 255 – the decimal conversion of the Hexadecimal value FF.

If you’re unfamiliar with Excel functions and formulas you might benefit from our completely free Basic Skills E-book, which will introduce you to the basics of formulas and functions.

Dealing with 0x prefixes

Many programming languages prefix Hexadecimal values with 0x. For example 0xFF instead of just FF.

The HEX2DEC function won’t recognize a Hex value that has a 0x prefix so you will need to strip away the prefixes before you can convert the values.

There are a few different ways you could do this, including Flash Fill, Text To Columns and even Find & Replace, but a formula offers the most long-term solution because it will automatically recalculate. This formula will remove the 0x prefixes:

=RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-2)

All of the options mentioned above (as well as the RIGHT and LEN functions) are explained in depth in our Expert Skills Books and E-books.

A working example

You can download an example workbook showing the above functions and formulas in action.

Other counting systems supported by Excel

As well as the HEX2DEC function for Hex values, Excel also contains functions to convert values from Binary (Base 2) and Octal (Base 8) . These are supported by the BIN2DEC and OCT2DEC.

There are also functions to convert each of these counting systems to the other. For example you can convert an Octal value into a Hex value using the OCT2HEX function.

These are the only up-to-date Excel books currently published and includes the new Dynamic Arrays features.

They are also the only books that will teach you absolutely every Excel skill including Power Pivot, OLAP and DAX.

Статья по переводу чисел из разных систем счисления

I often find myself converting between different formats of color codes; especially from hex to RGB and back again. Rather than firing up Google and searching for color conversion tools online, I decided to write my own User Defined Functions in Excel, now I can calculate the result within a worksheet instead.

The functions in this post include the conversions for RGB, hex, HSL, HSV, CMYK and long formats.

Using these color conversion functions, I created an add-in that makes the conversion even easier. Keep reading to find out how you can download the add-in for free.

Download the example file: Click the link below to download the example file used for this post:

The downloads include:

  • 0006 Convert color codes.xlsm – includes all the custom functions
  • ColorCodeConverter.xlam – Excel add-in for color conversion
  • Add-in installation instructions.pdf – Add-in installation & xlsm unblocking instructions

Excel’s different color code formats

Even in Excel, there are four different methods of defining color; RGB, hex, HSL and long.

RGB

The RGB (Red, Green and Blue) color code is used within the standard color dialog box.

RGB Color Mode

The individual colors Red, Green and Blue each have 256 different shades, which when mixed can create 16,777,216 different color combinations.

HSL

Within the standard color dialog box there is another code format; using the color model drop-down we can change to HSL. HSL uses Hue, Saturation and Luminance to create the color.

HSL Color Mode

HSL tries to define colors closer to the way humans think about colors.

  • Hue – is the degree on the color wheel from 0 to 360. 0 is red, 120 is green, 240 is blue.
  • Saturation – is a percentage of the amount of color included. 100% is full color, 0% is no color (i.e. all grey)
  • Luminance (or lightness) – is a percentage of grey. 0% is black, 100% is white.

Frustratingly, Excel does not handle HSL in the standard way. Instead, Excel measures all the numbers where 0 is the lowest and 255 is the biggest. But, it’s a quirk we can handle.

Long

The long color code is used by VBA when displaying the color property of an item. The following macro displays the long code for the fill of the active cell.

Sub ActiveCellColor()

MsgBox "Long color code: " & ActiveCell.Interior.Color

End Sub

Select a cell and run the macro.

Long color code in a message box

The long code is a number from 0 to 16,777,215, where each separate number represents a color. The relationship between RGB and long is based on a simple calculation:

Long = Blue x 256 x 256 + Green x 256 + Red

As an example:

  • Where Red: 33, Green: 115 and Blue: 70
  • The result calculates as 70 x 256 x 256 + 115 x 256 + 33 = 4,616,993

Long and RGB are related; they are just different ways of calculating the same number.

Hex

Hex (which is short for hexadecimal) color codes are found in two places in Excel.

  • Color picker – Excel 2021 and Excel 365
  • VBA – All versions of Excel

HEX Color Mode

Since the introduction of hex codes in the color picker, there is now native conversion between RGB, Hex and HSL color codes.

Hex color codes are similar to RGB as they also use 256 shades for each individual color. The critical difference is that the hex system represents the numbers from 0 to 255 using just two characters. This is possible because hex uses Base-16.

We generally use Base-10 in everyday life, which means that we have 10 digits (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) available. As an example, the number 14 is created by using the formula (1 x base) + 4. The base is 10, so the result is calculated as (1 x 10) + 4, which equals 14.

For Base-16, there are 16 digits; however, as we don’t have enough number characters we use A, B, C, D, E and F to represent the numbers from 10 through 15.

As an example, the hex number AB equals 171.

  • A = 10
  • B = 11.
  • The calculation is (A x base) + B = (10 x 16) + 11 = 171

In hex, the lowest value is zero and the highest value is F (which is equal to 15). Therefore, there are 16 possible individual digits. This means that from two digits we can create 256 shades (16 x 16 = 256), which is the same as RGB. Therefore, hex also has the same 16,777,216 combinations as RGB and long.

Hex codes are presented in same order to RGB, so if the hex color code is #467321 the first two characters represent red, the middle two characters represent green and the last two are blue.

Using the #467321 hex code as an example, the conversion to RGB would be:

  • Red: Hex value of 46 calculates as (4 * 16) + 6 = 70
  • Green: Hex value of 73 calculates as (7 * 16) + 3 = 115
  • Blue: Hex value of 21 calculates as (2 * 16) + 1 = 33

The hex codes are used within the VBA properties to define color.

Hex code used within VBA

The color code in the screenshot above is: &H00467321&. However, there is a very subtle difference when using the VBA code; the hex code needs to be reversed. The first two characters represent blue, the middle two characters represent green and last two are blue.

Normally, blue would be #0000FF, but for the VBA property the code would be: &H00FF0000&

  • & = Start character
  • H = Hex code
  • 00 = Tells VBA to use a custom color
  • FF0000 = the Hex color code with the RGB reversed
  • & = End character

CMYK

Another common color code system is CMYK. It is used primarily for printing, as it determines the amount of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and blacK ink used in overlapping printed dots.

While Excel does not use CMYK, it is a common method, so I have included it within the scope of this post.

HSV

Finally, to complete the spectrum of color code systems, there is HSV. It is similar to HSL, but it uses Hue, Saturation, and Value as measures. This is not just HSL under a different name. While Hue is the same under both systems, Saturation and Value both calculate as different values.

Excel does not support HSV, but is included below because it is a common method.

User Defined Functions for color conversion

In the section above, I’ve tried to explain how each method defines colors, but converting between them is a different matter entirely, and is much harder. Thankfully, we can let Excel do the work for us. Below are the UDF’s to convert between the various methods.

REMEMBER! – To use VBA functions, the code must be included in a standard VBA code module.

RGB, hex and long are all based on whole numbers, so they should perfectly convert between each other. CMYK and HSL involve decimal places and percentages and therefore could create small differences in their conversions.

RGB from CMYK

The calculation for converting from CMYK is based on the calculation from here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10690125/coloring-cells-in-excel-with-cmyk-cell-values

Convert from RGB to HSV

The UDF below will return the degree of Hue, % of Saturation, or % of Value based on the RGB color codes.

Function GetHSVFromRGB(Red As Integer, Green As Integer, Blue As Integer, HSV As String)

Dim RedPct As Double
Dim GreenPct As Double
Dim BluePct As Double
Dim MinRGB As Double
Dim MaxRGB As Double
Dim H As Double
Dim S As Double
Dim V As Double

RedPct = Red / 255
GreenPct = Green / 255
BluePct = Blue / 255

MinRGB = Application.WorksheetFunction.Min(RedPct, GreenPct, BluePct)
MaxRGB = Application.WorksheetFunction.Max(RedPct, GreenPct, BluePct)

V = MaxRGB

If MaxRGB = 0 Then
    S = 0
Else
    S = (MaxRGB - MinRGB) / MaxRGB
End If


If S = 0 Then
    H = 0
ElseIf RedPct >= Application.WorksheetFunction.Max(GreenPct, BluePct) Then
    H = (GreenPct - BluePct) / (MaxRGB - MinRGB)
ElseIf GreenPct >= Application.WorksheetFunction.Max(RedPct, BluePct) Then
    H = 2 + (BluePct - RedPct) / (MaxRGB - MinRGB)
Else
    H = 4 + (RedPct - GreenPct) / (MaxRGB - MinRGB)
End If

H = H * 60

If H < 0 Then H = H + 360


Select Case HSV

    Case "H"
        GetHSVFromRGB = H
    
    Case "S"
        GetHSVFromRGB = S
    
    Case "V"
        GetHSVFromRGB = V

End Select

End Function

Convert from HSV to RGB

The following UDF calculates the RGB values based on the degree of Hue, Saturation % and Value % of the HSV method.

Function GetRGBFromHSV(Hue As Double, Saturation As Double, Value As Double, RGB As String)

Dim R As Double
Dim G As Double
Dim B As Double

Dim C As Double
Dim X As Double
Dim m As Double


C = Saturation * Value
X = C * (1 - Abs((CDec(Hue / 60) - 2 * Int((Hue / 60) / 2)) - 1))
m = Value - C

If Hue >= 0 And Hue < 60 Then
    R = C
    G = X
    B = 0
ElseIf Hue >= 60 And Hue < 120 Then
    R = X
    G = C
    B = 0
ElseIf Hue >= 120 And Hue < 180 Then
    R = 0
    G = C
    B = X
ElseIf Hue >= 180 And Hue < 240 Then
    R = 0
    G = X
    B = C
ElseIf Hue >= 240 And Hue < 300 Then
    R = X
    G = 0
    B = C
Else
    R = C
    G = 0
    B = X
End If

R = (R + m) * 255
G = (G + m) * 255
B = (B + m) * 255


Select Case RGB

    Case "R"
        GetRGBFromHSV = Round(R, 0)
    
    Case "G"
        GetRGBFromHSV = Round(G, 0)
    
    Case "B"
        GetRGBFromHSV = Round(B, 0)

End Select

End Function

Color conversion add-in

Using these conversion functions, I have created an Excel add-in that will quickly switch between the different color codes.

The add-in is included within the downloads at the top of the post. To install the add-in, follow the PDF instructions included in the download, or follow the instructions in this post.

Once installed, the EOTG menu will include an icon called Converter in the Color Codes group.

EOTG Ribbon with Color Converter Add-in

Click the button to open the tool. When entering values into any of the boxes, the other boxes will automatically display the converted codes.

Conclusion

I hope this post provides you with all the color conversions that you need. If you want to convert between two methods that I have not covered above (for example, hex to HSL has not been included), convert from the source code to RGB, then from RGB to the target mode.

About the author

Hey, I’m Mark, and I run Excel Off The Grid.

My parents tell me that at the age of 7 I declared I was going to become a qualified accountant. I was either psychic or had no imagination, as that is exactly what happened. However, it wasn’t until I was 35 that my journey really began.

In 2015, I started a new job, for which I was regularly working after 10pm. As a result, I rarely saw my children during the week. So, I started searching for the secrets to automating Excel. I discovered that by building a small number of simple tools, I could combine them together in different ways to automate nearly all my regular tasks. This meant I could work less hours (and I got pay raises!). Today, I teach these techniques to other professionals in our training program so they too can spend less time at work (and more time with their children and doing the things they love).


Do you need help adapting this post to your needs?

I’m guessing the examples in this post don’t exactly match your situation. We all use Excel differently, so it’s impossible to write a post that will meet everybody’s needs. By taking the time to understand the techniques and principles in this post (and elsewhere on this site), you should be able to adapt it to your needs.

But, if you’re still struggling you should:

  1. Read other blogs, or watch YouTube videos on the same topic. You will benefit much more by discovering your own solutions.
  2. Ask the ‘Excel Ninja’ in your office. It’s amazing what things other people know.
  3. Ask a question in a forum like Mr Excel, or the Microsoft Answers Community. Remember, the people on these forums are generally giving their time for free. So take care to craft your question, make sure it’s clear and concise.  List all the things you’ve tried, and provide screenshots, code segments and example workbooks.
  4. Use Excel Rescue, who are my consultancy partner. They help by providing solutions to smaller Excel problems.

What next?
Don’t go yet, there is plenty more to learn on Excel Off The Grid.  Check out the latest posts:
